Sharing

I hate to share. I grew up with a Dad who wanted to buy my sister and I two of everything so that he didn't have to hear us fight about it later. I blame him. :) I will repeat it, I HATE TO SHARE. This trip has made me share. I always share hand sanitizer, but I think that is because I don't want other people getting me sick. I love sharing food and I think it is a great thing to do in a foreign place. I remember in middle school, I used to intentionally buy the small packs of gum because you are just supposed to share gum with anyone and everyone around you when you get it out. Why is that? Why does everyone feel obligated to ask everyone around them if they want a piece of gum when they get it out? Can't you get your own? It's really not that expensive! I guess I associate sharing with preparation. If you need something from me, that means that you were not prepared enough to have it yourself. I promise I am getting better about it... Sharing ability is definitely one of the large changes I will bring home from this trip.... But I still buy the little packs of gum... haha*
