It is difficult for me to believe that my Senior year is coming to a close. What is even more difficult is wondering and hoping about my life after graduation. Yesterday I arrived in Celebration, Florida to begin my student internship. How do I even begin to describe what I have already seen and what has already happened? The answer need only be that this is going to be one of the most incredible things in my life.
Celebration, Florida is a community unlike any other. The entire community looks as if it belongs in a story book. The houses are absolutely stunning. While I am down in the area, I will be living with a host family and another Ashland intern. The family took us on a bike ride around the town, to help us get a better feel of the community. Although it may be difficult to explain, it is both the feel of a large city and a small town. While the city itself may be large in number, walking and riding around down town feels like a small town community. Everyone is sitting and dining outside, others are fishing off the pier, while others still are just sitting and admiring the view.
Other pathways of the trails took us through "forests" of palm trees and other native plants. It was a surreal experience. It is hard for me to believe that it has only been a little over 24 hours here, and I already feel a sense of home. Hannah is the other intern here with me, and we have both begun to develop a liking for this town. On Monday we enter the high school. I hope that it is a wonderful experience, because as of now, I can picture a future here.
There will be more to come, as the adventure itself has only just begun.
