4 weeks to go...

It's crazy for me to think that we only have 4 weeks left!  I think that Peter, Stephanie, and I are starting to excited about going home, but are getting more and more sad about leaving.  It's so strange that people and places that have been a HUGE part of your everyday life for the past year will suddenly be gone.  There's also something beautiful about that as well - that God puts people in your life for a very specific purpose, for a very specific period of time, and only for that time.  It's crazy and sad, but so beautiful.
 
I've been very blessed to have many visitors the past few months, but am definitely looking forward to having my last month here being fully present to my life here in Liverpool.  I'm looking forward to my last weeks in school especially.  We have many fun things coming up.  We've been tie-dying with the kids and will be wearing our shirts for their annual spring concert at the end of June. We just had an athletics day, competing against other schools in track and field events, which was a blast.  During my last month I'm also very excited to start watching the World Cup with my housemates and my English friends that I've made here.  England plays the US during the first round, which is an event I'm sure I won't forget!
 
All in all, I'm still in love with my life here in Liverpool.  I'm going to soak up every part of my last month!
 
Love,
Lucy

A little about me...

I'm originally from Mundelein, IL in the suburbs of Chicago.  I've lived there my entire life with my mom, dad and two sisters. I went to university at the University of Notre Dame where I studied Psychology and Pre-med.  I just graduated in May and when I return from being a VV I hope to go straight into graduate school for becoming a physical therapist. I've known for a very long time that at some point I wanted to do service/volunteer work, but I wasn't sure where, when, or what. Once I made the resolution to go to graduate school, I decided it would be a good idea to take a year off to do service.  I heard of Vincentian Volunteers through my university, applied, interviewed, was accepted and came!  So far it's been absolutely amazing.  I've learned so much about myself, now that I'm completely out of my comfort zone. I've also learned so much about working with blind and disabled children and people. I've learned to become much more patient with people and have a completely new definition of what beautiful means.
