That is such a good question.  I think the biggest part of all of this for me is that I want to do something different. I don't want to fall into the whole " go to college, find a job, get married , have kids thing". I want to experience life before I settle down. However, I can't really take credit for how I fell into missions, especially this particular one. I accidentally applied with AIM, thinking I was applying with the company my friend traveled with last summer, and then I kind of let the ball drop because I got distracted with other things. Then all of a sudden in the past two months, due to my own mischief and mayhem, all my other plans fell through and AIM let me know that they had a spot for the September trip if I wanted it and here I am.  It's totally a God thing that I'm doing this so I'm really excited to see what happens and how this all turns out. I know it's going to be amazing and that I am here for a reason....I just dont know what it is yet : )
