An ordinary student walked into a country unknown to him. He was scared and afraid but curious of what this country had to offer. He felt the stares of the native people on the back of his head. He felt as if he was unwanted. So, he started to doubt himself, “Why am I here? Can I do this? Am I capable?”, but somewhere deep down in his heart, there was mild spring of courage that kept him walking into the realm of the unknown.
Chad is a poor country, but it captured the student in utter bliss. The children, even with their illnesses and needs, were blooming smiles that could only come from pure happiness and the appreciation of life, something that the student never experienced. Because of this, the student became attached to them and enjoyed every moment in their presence.
When the last day of his journey arrived, the student realized that he has fallen in love with the children of Chad. He promised to himself that he would live and learn for them. So that one day, he could return, able to heal their injuries and fill their needs.
The once ordinary student finished the walk as a man with determination and motivation to learn and to love.
