My Expectations

A former Sunday School teacher of mine suggested that I write out my expectations for this summer. He says that it helps me to realize a few things, that help me to deal with my circumstances better, and keep me from being overwhelmed or frustrated. I recently did the same thing when I went to the Dominican Republic with Teaching Fellows, and it really did help.

Some of it may seem pointless to write out, but may be something that I won't receive. For instance I might expect to have cooked food everyday, instead I may receive a sandwich or cereal for my meals.

Expectations:
I expect to be cared for. I expect to be given plenty of food I expect to always have a place to sleep. I expect to sleep indoors.

I expect to get along with Emily and Tiara for the most part. I expect them to get on my nerves. I expect to get on their nerves more.

I expect to be able to contact my family a few times a week, a least for a short while.

I expect to be worn completely out and to sleep well at night because I'll work hard.

I expect to give my all and for my teammates to give their all.

I expect to be welcomed warmly by the church's we serve.

I expect to be respected and loved by my supervisor.

I expect to love and respect my supervisor.

I expect to do at least one stupid thing this summer, I expect to be forgiven and to learn from the experience.

I'll add to this list as I think of it over the next few days.

As Always, Thanks for reading! I love you!
