I cannot believe it is time to return back to Buffalo. The last two and a half weeks flew by. I remember about a week ago I was home sick and I could not wait for this day to come. Now that it is here, I do not have those same feelings.
I have met so many great people on this trip and it is crazy to think when and if I will see them again. Even the girls I came on the trip with... I only knew two of them before we left. After the time we spent here I feel like I have gotten to know so many more great people and I am grateful I had the opportunity to spend this time and make these experiences with them.
Last night we had our farewell dinner. It was so nice for all of us and some of the guides and staff from Tres Mariposas to get together one last time. One guide I'm sure none of us will forget is Shayna or as the kids call her, Chinola. She was so friendly and helped us out a lot. We were able to get to know her in the time we were here which made me happy to make a friend somewhere other than home. She even came over to hang out with us on our day off which was so much fun. I hope one day we will be able to come back and see all the great people we have met.
I've learned to never say goodbye and truly mean it, because then it is like you do not have the intentions to make sure you see them again. That's why I am saying "See you later"! I hope I am able to come back to Cabarete and see everyone again. I hope that I return to continue making a difference in the community and at Tres Mariposas Montessori. I have no idea what life will bring but I know that in my future I have to return. This experience here has made such an impact on my life and I will not forget that!
