Day Fourteen:



Well the day has come, the day we all waited for... everyone was packing their belongings, un flatting the mattresses and placing things back into the cars. Once we were done taking care of everything needed we headed to the Casino to eat breakfast and oh my! I haven't stuffed face in a long time(2 weeks) and oh we finally drank soda, it tasted like heaven. I was sad because I met all these wonderful people and I had to say goodbye, everyone impacted me and my perspective of things and I am blessed. The two weeks away from home made my mind grow, lose weight and get an amazing tan but most importantly it thought me how much the earth is suffering and the people in it. Now no offense but every time a white person says "go back to where you came from" I realize they have no place to talk because then the white people have to go back to Europe, the natives own the land and somehow they want to be saying all kinds of nonsense. I was happy of coming aboard even though I was the youngest member in the Heritage Circle they all became family. Everyone was sad to go but happy to see their loved ones. When we arrived to Heritage everyone went their own ways knowing that one day we will be thinking of the moments we all had and the memories will randomly come to our heads and make us smile or when we see each other at the Heritage library we will laugh because we will know what we're going say to each other. I know I took a lot back home because when I arrived and my mom gave me a huge hug and a kiss she asked "how was it" and I just smiled and said "life changing". I couldn't really explain everything that happened in those 2 weeks to her or any one who would ask me that same question because it was so much but I tried and when I did everyone was amazed how interesting I made everything sound and how deep in thought I would go to explain myself. I arrived a different women a much sophisticated one, and if this trip is offered next year I am defiantly taking it.


sincerely,
