I just woke up and I can believe that I am home. I feel like I have just woken up from a dream. This entire week has been a truly amazing experience in every sense. Listening to the morning news, I am disappointed to realize that I am back in reality. I feel like our week in La Romana has been much longer than just one week. If we could have all stayed longer, I think we all would have. I already miss the hotel, the hospital, the bateys, and the gorgeous beach where all of our memories for the week were made. I am happy to know that I will be able to share my memories with Jen, Amy, and the other students on the trip once we all are back in school. In addition, I am eager to see the 500+ pictures that were taken on the trip. I don't think words can expain the feelings that I have about the week, but I will try to give them in simple terms: Happiness, tranquility, and accomplishment. I have really enjoyed getting to know everyone on the trip, and I think I have made great friends. I really hope that I can go back next year, and for other students who read this, you will not regret going. This trip has been the best experience of my high-school career, and I can't wait until next March comes around.

P.S- I feel like our experiences in La Romana have allowed us to wake up from a dream that we live in here in the U.S. to see the more real side of life that the majority of the world lives in. I will really miss it.
