That's the thing about life here....It's a roller coaster.

So, obviously my previous blog was not the happiest of blogs, but it's the truest one I have published so far. That was raw emotion as I sat alone in my room one night sobbing. I felt truly alone, even though I have made so many new friends, and talk to my friends from back home all the time. I felt alone. That's not something we talk about often, feeling alone, no matter how strong and tight knit your support system is. 

Everyone feels alone at times. It's normal. 
It's life. 
The next day I was 100% A-Okay. and it's funny because sitting here that night I felt like if nothing else I was not going to be okay again. I was going to spend the rest of my program feeling miserable and depressed. 

I don't. 

Like they said, "you will have good days, and you will have bad days" That day was one of the several bad days I have had...But I have also had many great days! 

Story one: 

A fellow cast member came up to me and said "I have a guest here who would like to ask you a favor." and I was really confused, like what stranger specifically asks to ask someone for a favor. It was an 11 year old girl, named Sara. We talked for a few moments about; where she was from, why she was here, and then what her favor was. She told me about her friend, who's name she didn't mention out of respect. She told me she was supposed to come on vacation with her family, but sadly was stuck in the hospital because she was too sick to come. She has been fighting cancer for 2 years. Sara told me how she had made a promise to her best friend to film a video with every cast member she could get. In said video she wanted us to dance. She proceeded to teach us a little dance and then we waved and said feel better. 

I know this isn't a lot, but I cried, 
It was a really good day. and I am so glad we were able to help make her day. 
If said video ends up on youtube, then don't tag me in it, because I probably look like a wreck.


So don't let my previous blog stop you from coming if you are planning to apply, it's not all bad. 

Have a magical day.
