I wrote in a previous post that I wasn't looking for much of anything on this trip, and I didn't come on this trip intending to find out more than I already know about myself. Though I have only been here for 24-hours, I have learned more about myself in the past 24-hours than I have throughout my entire life.
Throughout my entire life, I have attributed my luck and my good fortune to fate. Fate matched me with my parents, fate brought me to the University of Arizona, and fate brought me to this Earth.
More often then not I end up thinking about what is really important in life, and what my goals in life should be. As far as I know, I have one life to live -- how am I going to spend it?
Though at times I don't feel Korean, I always feel special. I feel special because of where I am now compared to where I could -- or couldn't -- be. I feel special because of the luck I have had with fate. I've been handed a royal flush but I have never really taken the time to pay attention to the beautiful details of the cards until now.
In the past 24-hours this of trip have humbled me to the fullest degree. I am so thankful for health, for happiness, for my friends and family, and for every single encounter with anyone I have ever had in my entire life. I will stand by the saying that every person I have ever encountered in my life has made an impact on my life and on who I am as a person today.
That's enough rambling for tonight.
굿나잇,
Meryl
