Thanks!

Desiree Niccoli

It's incredibly hard to believe that only a month ago we were in a totally different country than our own, building roads, digging ditches and playing soccer in a rainforest. In fact the whole trip seemed surreal, like it didn't really happen but was rather something you read out of a book. An adventure story. A fantasy. When the whole group met last Thursday to talk about the experience, it felt like a family reunion, like we hadn't seen each other in a really long time. After coming back to the states and getting so caught up in school and family life, we all have begun to grow apart. We no longer have class together and can only exchange a few words in the hallways between classes. The notion of this is saddening but it is safe to say that we will never forget our experiences in Costa Rica or each other. Although, our experiences in Costa Rica are over (for now, *wink*) the experiences of Costa Rica as a school, for future students, is not. For all those who supported us, prepared us and made this trip possible, we say thank you!
