My Reasons

Do I need any?

This is what I have always wanted: the excitement, the fear, the adventure. Now it is all beginning. In two months I will have a different life. Sure, I will miss my old one, but today the possibilities are endless.

I saw a psychic about a year ago. She said, "You have finally found it! You are always searching, but you have found what you were meant to do." This was shortly after I had begun work at Mercy Corps, so I know she was right. But mostly I am convinced, because this work is what I believe in. This is the only job I could do...

"All people are members of a family, and everyone, therefore, has the responsibility of caring about the future of mankind and the earth."
