Guatemala SM

Exactly four years ago today I left for Guatemala where I worked as a volunteer at an orphanage. I can't believe how much has changed since that day when my parents and Bryn drove me down to the Seattle airport for the two red-eye flights to Guatemala City. At that point in time I was completely confused about a career goal, which had a confusing affect on other areas of my life too. (I won't go into detail on that whole career goal thing since most of you have read my Adv. Creative Writing article and know the story.) The three months I lived in Guatemala taking care of almost thirty babies and children less than five-years-old was the most difficult and trying thing I've ever done. It was also the most rewarding. I wouldn't trade my time there for anything.
