Place: Denver, CO
Today starts a new beginning a new slate for me. I have been given a wonderful opportunity. I want to make the most out of this, have this be something I will Never forget and have the best time. I have made some new friends already from all walks of life (people from Ethiopia, Germany, Denmark, Belgium, and other places). Its so fascinating that this one program combines all these different people together to make a difference in people's lives.
When I first arrive at the airport in Denver I did not know what to expect. I had all different emotions combined but when I saw the staff with a sign that said Up With People Bringing The World Together I was eager to meet other people and was so excited Although I was very homesick I could not wait for everything to start. I got my luggage (my luggage is so heavy!) and then I waited with 5 people and waited for a few more then by bus we went to this center where we got signed in and gathered all our stuff. We mingled with other cast members and also ate some food. Some of us were at that center for 9 hours (I was one of them). After dinner we went and found our host families. They all had code names mine was Poodle Skirt. Some families dressed up as there code names or some held signs. I couldn't wait to meet my host family and their cat!
I met my host family and they are so warm and welcoming they are so wonderful. I don't have a roommate in Denver but in another city I prob. will :D
