First of all, may I just say that I now have a 19 year old brother? Nineteen. That's NOT OKAY BECAUSE IT MEANS THAT I TOO AM GETTING OLD!!!
Okay, now to the real subject matter tonight.
Tonight, I was required to attend a performance on campus for a class. I grumbled and whined a little because why would I want to take the time out of my day to see something about a subject matter that I'm only studying because my curriculum requires me to? Well, it was required, so I attended...and guess what? I found the performance and the talk-back afterwards not only insightful and invigorating, but it got my mind really racing. I realized that people just don't take the time to step out of their bubbles enough to get in to subject matter that is nitty-gritty. We're always focused on ourselves, our work, our lives. Tonight I was given the chance to open my eyes to pieces of this world that I usually try to forget. I took that chance and my mind ran with it. No, I probably won't be going in to crazy research on the topic, but it really did interest me.
I want to travel, that's always been a given. But especially after seeing the first half of Invictus and watching this show today, I truly want to travel to help people. To play sports with little kids and learn about new cultures. My goal in life has always been just to be able to put a smile on someone's face, and I could do that around the world. I want to try. I'll go with mission trips, I'll go with friends...I just want to go.
I think that so far, these BEDO posts have been more insightful than diary-esque. I'm liking this.

Soccer with Mexican and African children is wonderful.
