Closing remarks

So I'm back, and after two days of traveling, I'm worn out and feeling a little sick (Every time I come back from a school or a trip, it's like my body says, "Ok, you can get sick now."). Even still, I'd do it all again in a heartbeat. I just can't stop talking about Peru...if that tells you anything. :)

I've been asked several times what my favorite part of my trip was. It's hard to narrow that many great experiences down to one favorite, so I've thought of a couple.

First is the kids. The trip really wouldn't have been the same without these guys. They have huge hearts, and they were always so excited to be around us. In the future, I'd absolutely love to travel abroad and work at an orphanage similar to this one. It was just good for my soul. :)

Next is the class. My professor was really one of the best I've ever had. He cares about his students-- he empowers us to get up and do something for public health. I was enlightened in so many ways (from Medicare to PlumpyNut), and inspired to keep up with my pre-med studies. Great class. Everyone should take it.

I can't leave out the trips. Going to amazing places with great friends is something I will never forget, and will really never be able to put into the right words. I'm so grateful that I got to go on so many adventures, and I honestly I can't wait to travel more.

Viva el Peru!
