EXPECTATIONS!!! That can be a dangerous word! I have learned that when you go into
something with expectations you are often left feeling disappointed. Most the time those expectations are not met
or fall short. So, I am jumping into
this little journey to New Orleans with an open mind and open eyes.
I honestly do not know what it will
be like. I feel like it is going to be a
culture shock. I am a conservative person and I would say
grew up a little bit of a sheltered life.
So, I am ready to explore a little bit more of the world. From the little bit I have looked up on New
Orleans everyone appears to always be having an enjoyable time and ravish on
the architecture and scenery. I love seeing
how people are born and raised differently than myself. I often wonder what my life would be like if
I had been born in a different place.
From this trip I hope to gain a new
understanding of people. I hope to grow culturally,
not just for my nursing profession, but on a personal level. People fascinate me. How we are all unique but one species. Sometimes I just do not understand people
though! HA! I’m sure everyone has said that at one point
or another!!!
I took this class because I thought
it would be a wonderful opportunity to grow and spend time with my friends as
we were exploring a new place. I also
had to have an upper class so WIN, WIN!
I want to experience whatever New
Orleans has to offer me. From what I
hear there is great music, great food, and plenty to gaze at. The only references I have to go by is the
little I have learned from working on our E-travel guides. I think it will be neat to explore the places
we have talked about.
I am most looking forward to the
thing I’m most scared about the most, being away from my family. I have never really been on my own or done
anything on my own. This is my first adventure
in the world on my own. I married the
guy I dated through high school a year after high school and 6 months later we
were expecting. I have devoted myself to
my family for the last 16 years and the last couple I have been trying to focus
on myself. Not that I’ve forsaken my
family, but I am trying to better them by bettering myself. I hope I am teaching my kids to never give up
on their goals or dreams. We still have
options no matter where life’s journey takes us. It just so happens that 2018 has taken me to
New Orleans. Louisiana will be another
state that I can cross off the map. I
would like to be able to say one day that I have been to all 50 states. I am over half way there.
If I seem a little edgy on the trip,
don’t mind me It’s my first time being a big girl😊, not to mention I have anxiety and I always
fear the worst. So now I will be worry
about myself and being gone from my family, but I hope to thoroughly enjoy and experience
this trip to its fullest!!
