Romania?

Help!  I am torn.  For those that do not know, I have been accepted to an internship in Romania.  I would be working with the children in the orphanages and hospitals.  This would be an awesome experience, and I am pretty excited about it.  However some family members are not thrilled that I am going to Romania.  They have done a lot to convince me not to go, and some of their doubts have crept into my mind.  I am not sure anymore if this is what would be best for me.  It's true that it would be really difficult to work with the children, the majority of which have serious deformities and such.  They say that at least one of the children you work with will die by the time you are done with the internship.  That would be pretty hard for me.  Also my mom is suggesting all of these vacations we could go on if I don't go to Romania.  Like, London or Hawaii.  Gosh, mom, way to make this decision even harder.  Also Rosie keeps reminding me that I would miss her graduation.  And to be completely honest if I had a choice between working in Romania or hanging out with my sisters, I would probably go with my sisters.  But, Romania would be an awesome life experience for me.  I don't know anymore.  I feel like it would be stupid to pass up this opportunity.  I'm already accepted, it's all laid out before me.  I guess I just have to decide if I am going or not.  What do you think?
