Question 3
Where did your passion come from?
I think my passion came from being shown 2 very parts of the world from the time I was born. In Utah, I saw opportunity, wealth, safety and the fast paced way of life. In Guatemala, I saw struggle, poverty, humility, and a cultural paradise. And I learned, that understanding both sides made me a better person. And I think everyone deserves to see the world, and to experience a different culture by actually interacting with the natives.

Question 6
What has been the hardest part of your journey so far?
The hardest part has been believing in myself. Isn’t that crazy?! Sometimes my perfectionism gets in the way as well, but we’re working on that.

Question 7
What does healing the world look like to you?
Healing the world looks like: understanding. All we need is to see another person’s story and understand that it is different than our own and that that is okay. We’re all just here to love and support each other.
