Just Graduated!
--HEADS UP: May 2014-January 2015 is Pre-Departure Information. Morocco service begins in January 2015. Begin there if you wish to only read the travel sections.--
Well, on May 3rd I graduated from Azusa Pacific University with a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science (and a minor in Theology) after quite an adventurous four years in college. It was a very emotional experience, but I feel a very quiet motivation within me to keep pushing forward for greatness (for God, not personal glory). On my graduation cap there are images of four individuals who I hope to be like in my life: Abraham Lincoln, J.K. Rowling, MLK and Pope Francis. The future, without question, will bring forth challenges, but a faith in God's love is what is necessary to help me strive through all of them.
In retrospect, there are things I could have done better, relationships I wish I could have reconciled and opportunities I should have pursued. However, I look back on my undergraduate career as insanely busy (Marathon, Study Abroad and founding a political organization!) and filled with plenty of risk-taking. I think the essential thing for me to bear in mind moving forward is a commitment to my own spirituality through practice of the spiritual disciplines. I've traditionally been quite poor at this so prayers are appreciated as I navigate through these uncharted waters in my own life.
As for now, I am learning Arabic and am also reading the Lord of the Rings. I have a long time until my departure for Morocco (7 months) and know there is much wisdom for me to acquire until then.
