Pandas, rice, and communists?
I chose China as my destination to teach and travel during the fall of 2007. Excitement is the feeling that has overwhelmed me the past few months. I sit and try to understand where I am going by surfing the web while I manny. There is an ocean hundreds of miles to my west and I will cross it...then I will know why they call us "fucking Americans". My mother is coming to visit me during my last weekend in Colorado. I hope she has accepted my decision to go to a place that makes her scared. My eyes need to see another continent. I will be able to understand who I am by experiencing adventure and adversity.

Having seen you this past weekend, your mom has accepted your decision and believes in you more than ever. As you take flilght across the Pacific this afternoon, know she's thinking of you now and always with a wing and a prayer and love always
