She looked at her clothes and then at her fair skin. Not feeling a sunburn on this trip. She tossed to sunscreen into her bag. Looking into her closet, Rachel grabbed a light and loose, long-sleeve, cotton shirt, her friends called her artsy shirt, and her sturdiest jeans to put on. Over that she put on her olive military-ish jacket and a plain scarf. Now for shoes... I might as well just wear my vans so at least I can be comfy, she thought to herself.
Although Rachel had a positive outlook on her trip, she came to realize that she better be prepared for the worst. She packed a swiss army knife but thought, I'm not going to be able to defend myself with this. Lets get real, I am a short little white girl, I need more protection than this.... Rachel proceeded to put a sharper and bigger knife into her bag.
With her bases covered, she looked to things that would give her some kind of mental or emotional support. A journal with some family photos would suffice for her. If only she could bring her art supplies... She puts on some meaningful bracelets and a necklace too since they don't take up any space in her bag.
What am I getting myself into? she thought as she pondered her future adventure.
