Hello Everyone! I did this entry on my way home from Windhoek.
Leaving was by far harder than I thought. In my short time here I have made lifelong
friendships with a number of people from all over the world. People who are the
type that I could just pick up where we left off. Over the course of Saturday night and Sunday
morning, saying goodbye was very hard, because you really mostly do not know
when you will see that person again even though we all say that we are going to
visit. It is amazing how connected people and a community can become in such a
short period of time.
When getting on the airplane, the Beyonce
song “I Was Here” came on, which really connected to how I was feeling at that
moment. This time in the airplane and
airports by myself will help me have more time to rest and reflect. I will be
meeting up in London with two of the guys from my program who will be passing
through at the same time. Otherwise it is from Windhoek to Cape Town to London
to Boston for me. I will arrive by the
afternoon on Monday in Boston.
What I have realized is that it is not really
about where you go, it’s more about what you do while you are there, who you
meet, and what you make of it. In the end, I felt like I made the best of my
time, learned a lot, and had a great experience.
Thanks for reading, Angela
