| My view from the hotel - Cebu, Phillipines |
The temperature is currently 75 degrees and slowly rising to a high of 88 and it's only 8:30 am, on Sunday the 11th (there's a 13 hour time difference). I am across the country in the Philippines for my second time with the University's International Service Learning Program. It is the 4th day of our 10 day trip and we will head down to Cebu City later on today to get our materials together and prepare for our week in the classrooms. I unfortunately cannot fully explain how the experience of going on an ISLP trip can impact you; yet, I think by this being my second trip it shows that I obviously enjoyed myself. Tomorrow we will be greeted with a grand performance the students have been practicing for weeks to welcome us, we will then head off to our schools and begin teaching each of our lessons. I am excited to see all of the students and hopefully those of us on the trip will be able to impact their lives as much as they will ours! Not to make anyone upset but, enjoy wearing your winter clothes while I enjoy this view!!!
