Proud but scared

Ok, so I admit my summer may have taken me away from my blog slightly, but I have done plenty since I last wrote, and I swear I’m back for good now. So Eco Kids has finished, and we raised just over £700, which is FANTASTIC. Over summer I managed to get loads more sponsors, off friends and family, and am planning to get some more soon (yes that’s you readers!)

I have now got nearly everything sorted to go, since it only 6 weeks away! Today I plan to apply for my visa, with the extra, unexpected day of freedom I got from sixth form. However, it may not happen as there seems to be a million and one things to do before I go back. I promise to try though. One of the most important things I need to do, is to book my transfer out in Tanzania. Otherwise, picture this; me, in Kilimanjaro airport, clutching my bag with nowhere to go but out on to the unfamiliar streets. So, yeah I’m going to book that now.

I can only say that because after my holiday a few days ago, with a group of close friends, I realised just how scary airports are. And then I got scared. I think this whole time I have been concentrating on how much good I plan to do, and how much of an experience it will be, that when people say ‘Are you not scared?’ or ‘Your so brave for doing all that on your own.’ I’ve just nodded along, kidding myself into believing I aren’t scared, or nervous, but I guess I am. And proud, there I said it.

Look out for more posts, since my blog follows my Duke of Edinburgh award too!
