Nervous about trip

[coolkitty1934]

so like a couple years ago i begged my parents to sign me up for a school trip to Spain and Portugal. I have worked hard doing everything from cleaning houses,farm sitting,and yard work to raise money.At first i was really excited to go out of the country!but recently i have been getting increasingly nervous the closer it gets to time to leave.I have started thinking beyond the whole its a new country so exciting! to all the things that could go wrong.i dont know Spanish very well for one thing i also dont know how to use an ATM. The money there is different too! everything will be different i wont know anything and its freaking me out.I cant just back out now because everyone gave me money for the trip and even my parents have paid for some of it.I also have to be vaccinated before going and i am severely scared of needles.

It is normal to be nervous. But millions go each year and they are fine. As long as you approach people with an open mind most want to help you with the language. I know because I go alone. You are not though. Billions have gotten a vaccine and have been fine. Why would the odds for you be worse?

The worse thing you can do is psych yourself out.

which unfortunately is something i am very good at doing TT_TT

Luckily resiliency is a skill you can learn. Not a character flaw. I have been sharing fear melters a lot lately. You could try them out and use them before your vaccine and on the trip. Which city are you going to?
