Just from the car ride from the airport to home
I already cannot look into the eyes of the Filipinos, especially the children on the streets, and not feel shame and guilt. I’m ashamed of the fact I am so privileged and complain about so many problems when these kids don’t go to school to work selling goods on the streets to make money for their next meal.
I’ve only been here about 3 hours but I am hoping by the end of this trip I can comfortably look into their eyes, feel their struggles and also follow their example by just being happy about the little things. Instead of looking at them through my eyes, I hope I can look at life through theirs and find a deeper appreciation for everything around me.
But other that, I’m really excited to be here! I’m going to eat so much :O
