As I am sitting here in my hotel room, watching Coco, I have decided to reflect on the trip. I started off really anxious. I was scared because I only knew a couple people well, and I didn’t think I would be able to be away from my parents for so long. But as soon as the trip started, I felt welcome. I felt included in the San Francisco airport, and I felt like I was able to be myself. And from then on, I felt that way. I have made many new friendships, most being with people I never expected to become friends with. I have made memories and had experiences that I will remember forever. I have gone places I never even knew existed. I have done things I never even thought I would do. And I am so grateful for that.
After thinking very hard (while still watching Coco) I have realized that one thing I appreciate the most is the people on this trip. Everyone is funny, welcoming, goofy, but also mature. I have made friends with some of the funniest people I have ever met. They make me feel included and they make me feel like I belong. I’m so thankful I got to make these memories and do these things with this group of people. We all (for the most part) get along very well and everyone has been very supportive of each other.
