Guys! I’ve just got a message that my application for the Amazon Expedition was rejected. I have to admit that firstly an enormous sadness came, because I have really lost my head over the expedition as, I guess, most of those who applied for it did. But then I realized that a melancholy won’t change a thing and giving up won’t give me any chance more.

Maybe I haven’t done enough to be accepted? Maybe I should be even more engaged and the rejection is just a hint for me that I am able to do much more for the environmental protection?

Actually, the rejection has given me a great incentive to act more and I guess it is what Mike Horn and his Team expect;). The nature means a lot for me and I want to protect it as much as I can. Even if rejected for the expedition, it won’t change my eagerness to save it. I’m going to carry out planned tasks and actions I decided to fulfill. No one will stop me!

I wish EVERY YEP who is also rejected to think this way . I guess the expedition plays a great role in your lives too, but the nature still need us and our acting. So DO NOT GIVE UP and KEEP ON GOING!

And I would like to add that I’m really happy that I’ve joined the community, because you all are SO EXCEPTIONAL! Is a real pleasure for me to talk with people of the same mind, to exchange ideas and the news with you. The YEP community started playing a great role in my life (I’m not its member for the long time) and the awareness that somewhere in the world live so friendly, open-minded and enthusiastic about the nature people invite me to believe that WE ALL REALLY CAN CHANGE THE WORLD FOR THE BETTER! If not we, who can?;)

You can’t imagine how much I would like to meet all of you . I’d like to congratulate everybody who is chosen to take part in the camp. Still, I keep my fingers crossed for you and I’m looking forward to hearing your experiences in the selection camp and then in the Amazon rainforest!:)
