I'm always telling people that they should do new things, have new experiences, do things that challenge their comfort levels. But when it comes to ME actually doing something new, I freak out.
I cannot express to you how much I love Wawona. I love the people I work with, the kids I get to hang out with, the pool I manage, the park I work in, how much it challenges and makes me grow spiritually. It is all so perfect. But my parents don't think I should go back, they are telling me what I tell everyone else: that I should do new things, have new experiences, do things that challenge my comfort levels. I appreciate their advice so I decided to go out on a limb and apply for something else, "Just to keep my options open", so I applied to work at Yellowstone National Park. I applied in September and had completely forgotten about it until today when my mom asked me to get the mail and I found a huge college acceptance letter sized envelope with my name on it from Yellowstone. They had given me a job, working in the kitchen, at the Roosevelt Lodge. I told my mom and she started jumping up and down, insanely excited about me working in Yellowstone this summer as they are visiting Yellowstone this summer and "It's perfect!!"
I haven't smiled once since receiving the letter. I want to do it soooooo badly. But can I give up this summer at Wawona? Pray for me. Give me your advice, I need it.
