The Best month of my life

I have always wanted to travel, to learn about new cultures and countries and how people live so when I saw this opportunity allowing me to combine this ambition with my passion for sports coaching I jumped at it, I applied straight away and when I started to tell people some questioned if I had put enough thought into my decision to take a month out of my education, my job and to travel half way around the world given that I was only 17. But not thinking about the decision was the best thing I've done, we're all so prone to over thinking things and talking ourselves out of things. Had I of done that I would never of had the incredible experience that was my month in India. I turned 18 and jumped on the plane a week later. My time in India taught me how string I am, how I can handle tough situations and how to make the best out of everything. It gave me my independence and even taught me how to get on a plane on my own and wash my clothes in a bucket. The children I taught in my time out there still inspire me everyday and motivate me to be the best that I can be. India instilled in me a passion to live life to the full and to do what makes you happy, I left with a clear plan fro my future. I owe so much to my time in India and those who helped me while I was out there, I cannot wait to get back there!
