I have to start this off by saying my journey began all the way back in the U.S. Where I was seated on the plane had set my destiny forward. I had met an older lady that stays in the U.S. She was originally from India, but moved to the U.S fir her family matters. She taught me some Hindi and what places are located. I was so very thankful for her presence and showing me a whole new perspective. A little before that I met the other kids from the U.S they were all so interesting and diverse. Then I was even more excited to just meet everyone else. When we landed we went thru a long process at the airport, made it out alive lol. Then we met Tabish in person for the first time. We had arrived at the hotel with hospitality welcome from our other core leaders. Next day i met the rest of the group slowly during our firs day orientation. Everyone was very to themselves mainly because it was the first day, but that didn't stop us from having a fun, learning, and connective experience. From there and onward i met everybody in the program so far. We visited a temple for the first time in India and i learned how to practice their culture. It reminded me of home because my church gives food away to the needy. After we went to the presdints house to learn more about delhi's history of india. After we had our first reflection and time to ourselves, thats where i got to soak in the knowledge of a bigger world. My faviorte part from Delhi had to be either The red gate or The spice market. The red fort was just amazing to me because how it was still standing after all it has been thru. But the spice market was very cool to me because of how all the product is sold and distributed. But out of all that i would like to reflect on what i took to the heart. It was when we went the temple to practice. I really truly felt connected to the world thru others actions. They dont have to do any this for anyone but they choses to do the right thing. They accept all that comes and go's! This reminds me of my mentor back at my hometown. His name is Mr. Terry, he has aught me the morals of life thru ministry and his ethics. It is so intresing on hiow you can just accept others so fast in your life. He didn't have to choose to take me on as his student. He's not even a teacher just a staff member. But I made history with him the perfect example I can relate all of this back too is the book called "Tuesdays With Morrie". When I put my feet n the water I felt like I was in my own head looking at myself. I asked myself why how when and where. Because you have to question everything in life to get an answer.
