Futuro

This has not been the first time that I have prepared to alter my daily routines and way of living for a trip. This has been the first time that I have decided to prepare for more change in alterations in my life philosophy and also see change in another culture.

This will sound cheesy: as long as two people change, someone from El Salvador and myself, then I will be satisfied with my service.

I enter with so much joy and desire to help, learn Spanish, and have great moments of conversation over tea and coffee. I also know the hardships, the burden, the motivation or lack of motivation I will receive from others. So much will change from now until 2011, but I hope to help one person, maybe two. If I could help two salvadoran people I would be so happy. Help two and ask them to help me help two others, and so on. How much different could it be after I leave? How much of a difference can I make after I am gone for 2 years? I want to help someone, but not for the short term. I want to change things for the better, for the long term.

I am changing the world.
And so are you.
