My name is Janelle Joseph, and I will be a senior this coming fall and Loyola University Maryland. This blog will be a blog for me to make blog posts about my travels around the world, which include places as far as Paris, and as close as New York City. I am from Brooklyn, NY, was born and raised in Brooklyn, NY. Blogging for the first time should be an interesting experience because it gives me the opportunity to be free, write about the things I see and how I feel about the traveling I'm doing. The picture above is a picture from when I went to Jamaica this past January to do an Immersion Program with Loyola. Eery time i look at this picture it relaxes my mind because it reminds me of that week i spent in Jamaica doing service. I woke up with joy in my heart everyday, which helped me to realize how much I appreciate a place like Jamaica, because its much calmer. I was phoneless and computerless and it helped me find a better appreciation for life and just reflecting. The chaotic life I live in the states doesn't give me the opportunity to just sit and enjoy the breeze, look up at the sky or watch the sunset. My body is not used to relaxing and reflecting. The reason I chose to use this picture as a beginning to my blog is because I want this blog to be filled with post where I am able to share my experiences, and have moments to actually stop and reflect on what I'm doing. Reflecting on a task gives me a the opportunity to look at why I did something and whom for.
