Now is the moment

Evening, all!!

To those just tuning in, we are here with a Miss Brittney (or T, if you so desire) who is about to journey to a fantastical place of excitement and adventure. Please, Brittney, tell our listeners why you are traveling to Uganda for three months?

Well, Raj, that is a very good question. You see the answer lies in my desire to travel and my friend Amanda's desire to make it an interesting journey. I thought, what better way to make my last semester of college memorable than to travel to a country I had only rarely heard about in books? So Uganda, here I come.

Brittney, if I may be so bold, have you had any regrets about choosing Uganda instead of another country? I understand you had a choice of a few places. If you wanted to just travel, then why Uganda? I believe that is what many of our listeners are wondering. Why not Costa Rica or Ecuador?

Boldness is not a fault, sir, but an attribute and to answer your questions truthfully I must admit that before deciding to go to Uganda, I did not have any desire to travel to Africa. Perhaps I had only thought of it as a place to see on National Geographic or as part of Simba's pride. Honestly, it was Amanda who persuaded me and I am very grateful that she did. You see, I have come to believe with all my heart, that whatever happens tomorrow and in the next three months, I am supposed to be there. I feel it in my soul. Bold words, perhaps, but isn't that the nature of our discussion? What does it mean to be bold? In this instance, does it mean choose the most comfortable, the most accessible, or even the most accompanied of countries? On the contrary, I believe it means to create your own path and that is my intention. Not to discredit any of my other fellow ST because what we are all doing is for our students and the joy that they bring us and we to them. I was lucky enough that I could pursue this passion of mine and watch it come to fruition. Very lucky. And I thank the world that I am so able and I cannot wait to keep anyone who cares to listen or read of my adventures updated. Especially of my clumsy mishaps in front of wide eyed fourth graders who probably believe that I know what I am doing. I just hope I can smile convincingly enough to have them keep believing me. To all the teachers out there, new and wise, thank you for allowing me into your ranks. I cannot wait to serve you and my students.

Wow, Brittney, that was wonderful. Unfortunately, for I know I wish I could keep you on the line forever, I believe that is all the time we have on our show for now. We will be sure to keep up to date with your travels! Safe journey tomorrow and please show lots of pictures! As to our listeners, as always, thanks for listening to Travel Radio 108.9 TBH. Tune in next week for an in-depth account of Brittney's first week in Uganda and a blow by blow recap of weather conditions in Africa. This is your internal radio/blog mind reader Rajah. Thanks for listening! Goodnight! Until next week!
