This post is for me to sort out my own thoughts. To understand my expectations and reasons (honest reasons)
Reasons/expectations in no particular order, except for how they occur to me.
1. I want to spend some time away from the people whom i know.
2. I want to explore a new city, from a temporary resident's point of view.
3. I want to learn more about the cause i'll be working for, and also understand the scope of how i can help, with regards to any thing that i feel strongly for.
4. I want to understand my own thoughts and feelings regarding certain issues, and learn more about the issue so i know how i feel about it.
5. I also want to know how i can help, i want experience, i want to be tossed into situations i would not expect.
