I heard the yell. Then came the cheers. I looked up from my logbook to see something I had dreamed about for years. As I approached the front of the boat, I could see the coast of India appear. I knew I would find it. As I had promised, I discovered a new path. The compass I had used pointed towards the land like a pointer dog. I hadn’t realized how important this small device could be. I stood in awe and felt humbled by the beauty of this place. After all of the hardships and challenges, we now had the opportunity to explore new land, learn and experience new cultures, and take advantage of the many opportunities that awaited us here. I had known what the consequences would be when I set out on this journey but I didn’t realize how those would be cancelled out the second we arrived.
