…I always knew time fly’s when you´re having fun- but when youre giving presentations every week; working on secondary applications; and trying to sure up a scholarship proposal; time fly´s faster than fun has ever seen.
I´m rushing this last post in the final minutes of the internet café at Santa Maria being open- but I wanted to share my last tangible English feelings of the trip with those I care about most, before I finally get to see them in what has been too long.
As I prepare to board a plane back to the states tomorrow, I´m overwhelmed with feelings. This past day has been spent full of sad yet humbling goodbyes, and the next days upon my return will include a joy and excitement I´ve spent the last 3 months building up. In all, I´m nowhere near ready to leave- Ecuador has become my home, my life, and treated in a way that I hope my volunteer work and determination can atleast repay in the slightest- but I´m ready for the challenges and “real life” that awaits to which I can apply the lessons, certainty, and motivation that I´ve found here on the other side of the equator.
Whether or not people think I am the same, or think ive changed immensely, all I can hope for above all other aspirations, is that they find in me the happiness, possibilities, and hope, that I´ve found this world has to offer.
Hasta Pronto; y espero que todo sea bien
