If you were to have told me a year ago that I was actually going to act on my dream of traveling to Africa, I would have laughed. For several years now I have made it my absolute goal and drive to teach in the schools of Africa. When the idea originally crossed my mind I was in my freshman year of college, and I was very lost. Although I did not exactly know what I wanted to do with my life, the one thing that I did know was that I wanted to go to Madagascar with the Peace Corps to work with the children. Crazy right? Well at the time it seemed that way, but I tried anyway. I spent the next couple of weeks researching Madagascar, the language, the money, and the program in itself. Unfortunately I was not motivated enough and let the word "impossible", and the fear of not knowing what was outside of my home country, or even state for that matter keep me from going. The opportunity was lost.
