As our Airbus A139 made its descent, we entered a series of valleys, banking steeply this way and that, hemmed in increasingly tightly by mountains on either side, until, at an elevation of no more than a couple of hundred feet, the aircraft turned hard to the left, rounded a spur and quickly leveled out.

Before this moment, I had barely traveled more than five hours outside of my hometown of Cartersville, Ga. Now I was five hours from waking up and embarking on a trip out of the United States for the first time. I was headed to the People’s Republic of China. I lay in my bed, emotions overwhelming my body and voices filling my head. What if no one is at the airport to greet me? What if I cannot understand the Chinese symbols? What if my host cannot understand my Southern accent? I was beginning to second-guess my decision to study abroad in China.

From 9 a.m. until 12 p.m., the Maryville Farmers’ Market bustles with shoppers, vendors and the sounds of banjos from musicians playing Americana tunes. It was 10 in the morning and already hot -- the kind of miserable, sticky hot that sends cumulus clouds to pile up like a cotton candy traffic jam, the kind of hot that wilts flowers and people, the kind of hot that sends perfectly reasonable people into philosophical tangents.
