As I begin my journey to a whole new world. A series of questions go through my mind. How fast will I get there? How are the people there? Will I make friends? Will I be a good asset to the rowing team? Will I succeed in the academic rigors of the school? Will I get home sick? Will I enjoy the food? Even though these questions can't be answered yet, I know that my faith will lead me in the right direction. This will be my defining moment as I will embark on a journey that will be going down in history as I become the first international collegiate rower out of the Philadelphia Public School District, and where my new life begins.......Sydney, Australia here I come!
