That was all I needed to know and I started the application that same day. I knew I would never have a chance like this again, so it was the perfect time to push myself and commit to an application. Although many options were available, my choice of location was pretty easy. There was London, Spain, Canada and others, but as soon as my eyes saw Ireland, I knew. I was born with a green heart that glorified nature. I have always appreciated plants/animals and longed to be in an environment that fulfilled my joys of being surrounded by life. It's no surprise that I chose Ireland with its lush landscapes and rainy climate. This was where I wanted to spend two months of my summer. The day I received the email letting me know I was accepted into the program was magical. I was scared because I was officially leaving the country, but the excitement quickly overshadowed those people.
