My journey in the UWP began the moment I decided to participate in the program. Filling out the application, giving the interview, filling out the forms...and some more.... ;), communicating (non-stop) with Colleen for even small matters (I am sorry to have bothered you so much Colleen!), thinking every moment afterwards about fund raising, checking out the posts in up with people cast B 2012 group in facebook- commenting, liking or just snooping around (hehe)... the happiness of having a successful fund raising...the sadness when I got no response... :(, and more importantly, getting to know all the wonderful people in the process...I am not even half way there yet- the program hasn't even begun, but the initial phase of my journey has been awesome! Before, I was happy with my friends, colleagues, family, and my culture- they were my comfort (i have learnt to appreciate them more too, also thanks to UWP); but now I am also getting to know about the people and cultures from around the world. I am stepping outside my comfort, but I am learning. (I will write about what I found in other cultures that is different from my culture and how out of comfort I felt, in my other post...so keep reading ;)).
My UWP journey has already begun- before the actual beginning of the program in Denver; and I am sure it will not end when the program ends in Mexico.
