The week is over and I am ready to go home. The work has been good, the friendships I have made will grow stronger, the food was delicious, the people were welcoming, and the resort was wonderful, but I am ready to go home. This Study Abroad program has been one of the best experiences of my life. I plan on returning to work with this organization year after year. One of my favorite things about this trip was that we did not come as tourist, we were here as one of them. We were able to immerse ourselves into their culture and really see how the people live and how they interact. We were in their communities and among friends. Visiting a country and being able to immerse yourself into their lives is a wonderful experience I will not soon forget. Cheers to Jamaica, you have stolen my heart!!
