ISL Belize Medical Trip

It's been a little over two weeks since I've gotten back from my medical trip to Belize. It was one of the best experiences of my life. Not only did I learn about Belizian healthcare and culture, but I learned so much about myself. I'm so grateful for everything I have, including the simple things like being able to eat raw vegetables without worrying about potential bacteria, street lights and being able to brush my teeth with faucet water.
I'm not going to write a long post about the trip like I would have in the past. I did start a journal during the beginning of the trip but there wasn't enough time to continue it. The over 400 pictures I've taken suffices though. I'm looking forward to reunions with the team! :D

Decremental

I think studying almost everyday last week is deteriorating my scores. I'm no where near where I want to be though.

Choice

As an adult, I have the power to choose how I live my life. Despite the influence others have on me, who I am, who I want to be and what I am doing right now is ultimately my choice. Growing up, I lived mostly as a hermit; I stayed in the comfort and boredom of my own home. I daydream, rather then do. I think, rather than pursue. Habits are hard to break. I'm breaking them slowly.

Two steps forward, one step back. I'm going to try to take only half a step back next time.
