Hi my name is Julianna May and starting the fall of 2021 I will be going on the World Race Gap year program! This is CRAZY to think about. Just 5 months ago I would never have been able to fathom the theory of myself being sent by God, to a foreign land, with people I have never met, to do His good work. Why me? Why did God choose me? These have been my thoughts the past few days as I rest and ponder the time leading up to this monumental decision. It all started when I was visiting colleges. One after another, after another they all felt the same, and none of the colleges I visited felt like home. I waited and waited for the perfect college (deep down I knew there wasn’t a perfect one). The more I looked at colleges and made plans the more the idea of college left a deep pit inside of my stomach. the last college campus I toured I remember feeling uneasy walking around, I couldn’t find anything good about it. My parents took me to dinner and I had a panic attack, because I knew college wasn’t my next step, it’s my future, but not today. my parents looked at me and said, “We live in America, you don’t have to go to college, you have to work, but you don’t have to go. College isn’t for everyone.” The moment I heard their words a burden fell from my shoulders and I could finally breathe. After that God sent me at full speed toward him and opened every door and lead me to the World Race. I found the Website and watched a few videos, after watching the first one I fell to my knees and balled my eyes out. Every doubt in my mind was wiped away and I knew this is what my next step is, no anxiety and no fear. this was it.
