CHARACTER STUDY (II)

With her familiar life fading fast in the rear view mirror, she took the closest onramp and headed south to the international airport. The drive was long and she drowned her thoughts with the blaring radio, but had to keep changing stations because country was too sad and pop was too shallow. She had taken the first leap of faith and left home, but a new wave of anxiety hit. Would this once in a life time trip be all it was anticipated to be or another let down? She stayed positive by reminding herself that she wasn't in this alone. Four other eager girls were also making their way to the airport. The companionship was a comfort to her, but didn't thwart the power of her nerves. Anxiety always won. But, like always, she fought it off and pushed on with high hopes.
