As I sit here in 18 degree fahrenheit Buffalo, I can't help but wish I am back in Cabarete. People keep asking me how my trip was and I respond with the same word each time: incredible. Because it truly was the most incredible experience I've ever had. Everything about it: the school, the culture, the people, the environment, the weather, the food, etc. My time in Cabarete taught me so much. I realized that when it might seem like my life is in shambles, some people are struggling to put food on the table and shoes on their children's feet. My struggles, aren't even struggles compared to some people in this world. I am so grateful for everything I have. I have been given every opportunity in the world, many of these opportunities that some never even come in reach of. Since preschool I've received a wonderful education. My family has struggled with money here and there, but not even as close to as badly as some. I have every material item I need/want.
