32 Day Challenge

I'm doing a 32 day challenge.  The 32 day challenge is where you decide on doing something for 32 days and if you miss a day you have to start all over.  My mom (Cullen) taught me that this challenge can help you learn things about yourself, through doing certain tasks.   I've decided to write in my journal one thing that I love about Guatemala, I would miss if I were to leave, and the experience I had that led me to realizing why I would miss this particular aspect of Guatemala. 

Day 3:  Indiginous Women
"On the way to school today an Indiginous woman fell asleep on my shoulder.  She was completely content with what she was doing and didn't mind that I, indeed, was a gringa.  At first I was annoyed and wanted her to get off of me. I tried rearranging myself and pretending there was a bump in the road.  Then I asked myself, why is this bothering me so much?  If this was a friend or my family I wouldn't care.  She wasn't smelly, or sweaty, and it wasn't a lot of weight on me.  So instead of getting crabby and all worked up, I let her enjoy my shoulder.  This woman was obviously a hard worker and deserved a shoulder to sleep on.  By the end of the bus ride, I realized, I had enjoyed the moment we had together.  I miss my mom and having someones touch, like a mother's, was comforting.  She woke up, rearranged her traje, and exited the bus"

I'm trying to see this Peace Corps experience in a new way.  Being here is a huge personal challenge and it is going to take exceptional growth.
Thats it for now
