Being
across the world from someone who has known you since before you were born is
not an easy thing. But London was calling and I answered. Yes, we have been
apart before-last summer being the longest when I took some summer classes in
Texas.
Though I miss her all the time, I think we were both happy to grow as
individuals and for people to see us as our own person and not “the twins.”
Studying different things, we do not have many classes together which I think
helps us excel in our own way. She has the most incredible passion to be an
elementary teacher and I could not be a prouder sister. Starting as a chemistry
major, I was unsure of what my major should be in college. After exploring
multiple options I found one that clicked-strategic communication. So, when I chose
to study abroad she was excited for me, that I finally found something I liked
to study and not to mention going international with it.
Starting
on this trip I was not really worried about meeting new people or sharing a
room because I mean I have pretty much shared everything since the day I was
born-a bedroom (sometimes by choice), a birthday, a family, a car, etc. But
nothing could have prepared me for the journey I was about to experience. It is hard to think that I have only been
friends with most of these people for just about one week, but you would not
know it by the impact they have made in my life. Each and every one of them
hold a special place in my study abroad experience and I am so grateful to
share this experience with them.
Everyone
is on the journey called life.
The beautiful musicians that easily brighten people’s day as
they rush to their next destination.
The tourists in the park taking plenty of pictures so they
can have the perfect one.
The homeless looking
for a fresh start.
The cute couples who are enjoying their time together.
The busy business
people in their daily routine.
The college students studying abroad for the first time.
And a twin who is taking the journey of a lifetime.
