The plane ride to Jamaica was unbearable, but with the constant thought that I was actually going to Jamaica, and I will be gaining an experience none of my friends have had before, made it tolerable. People don't usually get a chance to see what I'm going to see or experience. This experience doesn’t actually resonate with others, but I feel I have extraordinary things to do in my life time. I never thought that I would be overseas for anything and realizing that certain youth don't have the money to travel to coast to coast, I am actually blessed. I am lucky and will do what I can to make my people proud. I was told by one of my extended brothers, Ka'rell Keith, that “Just being isn't living, living is figuring out what is worth being". Although he is no longer on this earth, I say rest in peace and I will make this experience what you would want it to be for me.
