I had to removed the bag-juice blog. I never intended for my spontaneous streams-of-consciousness to construe hateful ideals or induce an attack on me personally. The negative reaction to my blog has resulted in an early termination of my service to commence after my basketball camp at my school; so I will be returning to VA in the 3rd week of July. Again, I'm sorry to those who were offended by the blog entries I wrote.

You, a racist? What a crock....my apologies for those in my generation that cannot channel the enthusiasm, graciousness, idealism, etc. of your generation.
I hope the next step in your journey allows you to spread your wings and continue to serve those on this planet.

We love you. period.
See you in VA!
Laura, Thank you! I appreciate the apology on behalf of your generation :) I'm hoping to visit the mid-west this winter; if I do I hope to thank you in person for all your support. Thanks again.
Christine, I love you too and I can't wait to see you.
Tiff, Josh and I are sorry to hear that you're leaving the island. Much luck and success to you in the future!
I best think about every word I put on my blog while in Belize, I wouldn't want to get kicked out of high school.
