Before my Journey
Chaos! By definition it means catastrophe or a state of complete and absolute
distraught or discomfort. In Roman Mythology it was a divine force of nothingness that gave life to Gaia (the Earth) Pontus
(the Sea) and Uranus (the Sky). Perfect! This was the perfect word to describe my house at the time.
My mom was running around the town to look for items on the packing list. My dad
off playing his precious games of golf somewhere else. My brother was just standing in the middle of the hallway being of
more nuisance than assistance. As for me... Tristan Duc Tran, first born in my family, and the one that was actually going
on the trip... I was in my room completely ignorant of the world around me while listening to music. Yes. I knew that my trip
was less than 24 hour away. And Yes! I knew that not many adults ever have the privilege or get the opportunity to travel
to Europe... It just didn't seem real at the time. But little did I know, this "Chaos" would give life to my
future as a student ambassador!
