Hello everybody!!!! I recently have been eliminated from the competition I was partaking here in Korea. I felt really defeated and sad, of course, and I let myself cry for a solid 10 minutes. Its hard to be so immersed in a moment and have it taken away from you in 5 seconds. In this moment of defeat, I reflected on my faith in God and how I am able to still have trust in His plan for me. I asked myself if my heart is still capable of praising him even in the times when I feel most defeated. And I realized that faith and hope are the only things spurring people on towards their dreams, no matter the obstacles. I think the hardest part of this journey is being supported and loved by so many people, and ,in a sense, fail. But Ive always been taught by parents to stay positive and push even harder for what you want, even when you fall down. Ive also been taught by the Father that nothing is ever the end. Everything is just a beginning. All in all, this is the most wholesome, cultural, humbling experience thus far. Ive met my grandparents, who welcomed my family here with open arms. Ive seen my motherland, ate her food, and even received the best of love from strangers. And Ive experienced life in general. Jumping into the unknown. Thank you to everyone who is supporting me. It warms my heart to know I am surrounded by people who are cheering me on unconditionally! I cant wait to come home! Just in time for the holidays and to salvage whats left of my junior year! 😊😊 -Cara K P.S. Stay tuned. This isnt the last of me!
