Missions That Have Been Accomplished: Another 10 Things List by Amanda

I had some fear that once I found myself on the other side of the world, I would end up not finding my niche, that thing that I was here to do. Well, there were several things that I was here to do, actually. My fear has been put aside. I have:

1. Eaten a gross amount of the most delicious ice cream ever to cross my lips and still managed to loose weight.

2. Found a real purpose for dental floss (Vietnamese food and my teeth are at war!)

3. Been able to wear flip flops to work.

4a. Been called beautiful multiple times in a day by people who don't know and love me already (apparently every Vietnamese woman wants to be a plump, fair skined woman who "looks like a freshman in college."

4b. Been told I am like a movie star.

5. Successfully taught medical information to people in a way that was constructive and not demeaning, using my job skill in service.

6. Been able to teach parents how to bring health and more functional living to their child on a regular basis.

7. Make a friend.

8. Make another friend.

9. Not be run over (this is a goal for myself most weeks, no matter the continent).

10. Make a date for real, asian karaoke.

Almost everything...
