I can't believe it, college...it's over. What an amazing four years it's been at the College of Charleston. I have made so many amazing friends and had unforgettable experiences. Freshman year I came in nervous and apprehensive. Needless to say I was scared to death that I wouldn't know anyone in my classes, I was afraid of failure, and the possibility of having no friends. Thank God I am sooooooo pretty and popular! (Inside joke--big ups to my Spring Break group to the DR!)
Although I am truly going to miss living minutes from all my classes, never being bored in the beautiful city of Charleston, and having my best friends all live above me I am ready for a new badass experience. I also can't forget the rejuvenating breaks in Woodbury, New Jersey filled with laughs, and lots of love.
So here is my public declaration: June 29th is the day I embark on my two year journey to Benin, Africa in the Peace Corps! Everyone keeps asking me, "Ally, are you excited" or "Ally are you nervous?". I am definitely both nervous and excited. I absolutely hate having to say goodbye to people and believe me completely terrible at it. But anyone who knows me knows that this Peace Corps has been a dream. When I found out I was invited to become a trainee I broke down in tears. Two years of tests, applications, emails, interviews, and waiting came in a half-hour conversation. I am so blessed to be given this experience and will definitely make the best out of it. Thank you to everyone who has helped me get to this point in my life, I am truly indebted to each and everyone of you.
So here are some pictures from an amazing four years in Woodbury, New Jersey all the way to Monte Cristi Dominican Republic.
