Blessed

Cambodia hasn't only begun to change my life, but its given me an entirely new outlook. I now realize everything I have taken for granted and how incredibly blessed I am. The fact I was born in America, with two loving parents, and no disabilities is an incredible blessing, that not many people have. I also realize how great I have it, back in Vail, and how lucky I am to have the life I do. The trip has made me appreciate every little thing I have at home. Automatic washing machines, a great bed, normal food, even traffic laws. It's taken till now for me to understand how spectacular it is that I have them. I've started to miss everything too, even my sisters. Every object and person I have at home has impacted my life so greatly, and I now know without them life would be a lot different. I've learned these things from watching the kids. They're grateful for everything they have as little as it may be. From their few pairs of clothes to the not so nutritional meals, they appreciate it all, and it's started to rub off on me. They take everything from each situation and conversation, and enjoy each moment of their lives. I came to Cambodia to help these kids, and in the process they've helped me.
