The End of One Journey Marks the Beginning of Another

So, it would seem to me that the first day of summer is a good time to begin something like this. I figured that I would really enjoy relaxing and not doing much this summer, but it has only been a day, and I am already growing impatient. I miss all of my friends so much already. The unfortunate truth is that I have no real friends here, so most of the next month and a half will be spent alone. I can only look forward to the trip to Rome I will be taking at the end of June. While I will be chaperoning young teens, the chance to see such an amazing place has me pretty excited. In the search for something to do while I am home, I have asked about volunteering at a few places in the area, and hope that they will hold some opportunities for me. Other than that, I have spent the majority of my day searching for new music and staring out the window in my room. The vast landscape reminds me of how small I really am. Compared to the world, with its millions of years of flowing, changing, and growing what could i possibly do that is important? In searching for the answer to this question, I am reminded of all of the graduation speeches I have heard over the last week. The quote that jumps to my mind is as follows... "Honor God, follow Christ, and serve humanity" I have come to the conclusion that this is the way that I should try to spend my time this summer.
