MOST PEOPLE HATE THEIR JOBS!!!!!

One thing I have noticed is that people who work tend to hate their jobs at some point in time. People go to school to study how to work a job for the rest of their life until retirement only to be turned off to their job after only a few years. I hear this and it makes me sad but also so grateful. I LOVE MY JOB!!! I have met some of the most amazing people I probably would never have met if it were not for Invisible Children. I have seen some of the most beautiful places in the country that are comparable to much of the beauty of my home state of Michigan. Slept on the floors, couches, beds, futons, and chairs of people I will know long after this tour ends. For this I am eternally grateful. For this I dedicate my life to Invisible Children.
I can't wait to get home on DECEMBER 22, 2008 and see all of your beautiful faces again. When that day comes my hear will be filled with joy.

Until then.....

PLANS FOR THE FUTURE......AND THEN SOME?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Here's the deal...

Invisible Children has been a godsend for me! They got me off of my lazy behind and got ruined my life in the best way possible. All of my previous plans of a high paying job and such have flown out the window. IC has opened my eyes to the possibilities out there and also given me an avenue to address those possibilities. So for now....here is the "GAME PLAN."

Second semester I will be going back to school at Central Michigan University and completing half of my sophomore year.
This summer, with a ton of help and support from my parents and family, I will be bicycling across the US from Troy, MI to San Diego, CA to raise money. I am torn at this point between donating the money raised to Invisible Children or using it to fund my trip back to Africa, but I'll figure that out in due time.
After that, in the fall. I will be applying as a returnee to roadie-ship for the Fall 2009 S4S World Tour.
After that I suppose it's wherever the wind takes me. I have been privileged with so many opportunities because of Invisible Children that the job of serving people and changing my world is the only job that resonates with me at all.
KEEP IN MIND AS OF RIGHT NOW, THIS IS A TENTATIVE SCHEDULE. I DO PLAN TO TRY TO STICK TO IT THOUGH.
