Savvy’s Reflections

This DA summer trip has been a fun once in a life time opportunity. I enjoyed the modern feel of Singapore, and the fancy stores and beautiful statue. China town also brought a fun, unique culture. I also enjoyed Bhutan, the mountains reminded me of Colorado. I loved the stray dogs, and the local shops. The highlight of my trip was the tigers nest. I loved the beauty after a long hike. Bhutan was an enlightening experience. Malaysia was also very unique and exciting. My favorite part was swimming in the oceans. I loved learning about the culture, and exploring the wilderness. I am very grateful for the opportunity presented to me to go on the DA summer trip. I’ll admit, it was a little weird being one of the oldest kids having graduated high school, but I really enjoyed connecting with the students I did not know as well. The DA summer trip inspired me to travel more in the future, and taught me a lot about the world. 

I appreciated the tour guides because they brought a lot of knowledge to the students. I loved learning about the pride they had for their countries. I also appreciated the nature on this trip. Although it was challenging to be in the rainforest, it taught me how powerful the earth truly is, and that we need to have more respect for nature and animals. I also appreciated the food on this trip. I appreciated the weather in Bhutan. It was not too humid, but it was not freezing, and I really enjoyed it. I appreciated the hotels because they were all nice, and the food was great. I also appreciated air conditioning because Asia is very hot and humid. Overall, I was very grateful to be able to attend the DA summer trip.
