Tyler's Expectations

What were my expectations of coming to New Orleans? Well, none. I found out everything about this trip about two days before we left. So yeah, not much time to develop any expectations. But what I can tell you were my expectations for being a Bonner! I was denied acceptance to Bonner upon Spring application, and have been a B-Vol almost ever since. For the entire semester one of my main goals was to be eventually accepted into Bonner. I did not care to be accepted for the honor, for a scholarship, or because I want to change the world; but service simply makes me comfortable. It is something I feel incomplete without – somehow unfulfilled. Sometimes, things are just difficult to put into words and just get overly complicated, so I’ll just try to simplify this – service makes me happy, and becoming a Bonner and coming on this trip means that I can be happy. This trip signifies my first step in doing what I truly enjoy doing, and with those who love it as much as I do.
