Day One

On the Plane
This has been a lifetime dream to visit Africa—I imagine it will be a homecoming for me, and the memories I will have after such an adventure will sustain me for a long time. I want to see the native South Africans and their shantytowns. I hope to visit school children and leave my legacy with them, too. If I can leave a few books or touch a few lives, it will give me the confidence that I made a small difference.
