Introduction

Hi, my name is Kelly Rappé and I am journeying to the center on the earth.
Just kidding, I am going to Accra, Ghana to study abroad. I currently go to Hendrix College with an early childhood education major and a history minor.
My passions are sports (specifically Field Hockey and Track in college), traveling, reading, and discovering.
I am a Fort Collins, Colorado native and have enjoyed my time in the south thoroughly the past several years.
One of my best friends always says, "She's never afraid of going on another adventure."
Please check by biweekly to see how my experience abroad in Africa is.
I have only been abroad to Cuba, Canada, and Mexico, so this shall be a life changing experience.
I plan on reflecting, writing, posting pictures, and babbling about what is going on up in my noggin'. <3

Here is the clip for "A Whole New World"

All I Need

As the packing continues, I have been reflecting on EVERYTHING I need. I have gathered things like concentrated shampoo so I can bring to little bottles and they will last me four months, but there seems to be something missing. What does one need when they travel across the ocean into an entirely new location...a pond far away? Something that can be turned to when the moment of doubt sinks in. I ran into this song by chance it seems to be sending the message across quiet well what I'll be needing when I am abroad.

Awolnation
"All I Need"

All I need, all all I need,
All I need, all all I need,
All I need, all all I need...

It's early in the morning,
I'm laughing at the sun.
My mirror disappoints me.
Am I the only one?

All I need, all all I need,
All I need, all all I need,
All I need, all all I need...
Is you
smiling
at me, all all I need,
All I need, all all I need,
All I need, all all I need...
is life, love
with you

I think I'm getting closer
but the scenery's the same.
Am I a disappointment?
I'll blame it on the pain.
It's

All I need, all all I need,
All I need, all all I need,
All I need, all all I need...
Is you
smiling
at me, all all I need,
All I need, all all I need,
All I need, all all I need...
is life, love
with you

All I need is you
is all I need,
if you could simply believe
in me and we would be forever
together

All I need, all all I need,
All I need, all all I need,
All I need, all all I need...
Is you
smiling
at me, all all I need,
All I need, all all I need,
All I need, all all I need
is you
smiling
at me
all I need is you
is all I need
all I need is you
is all I need
all I need is you
is all I need
is life, love
with you.

It seems that a sign of happiness, a smile, or a nod are similar in most cultures.

The important thing is that I remember to find the joy and benefits through this adventure and understanding how critical each person I met is.
