So far, it’s not been like what they say. I’ve been here two months, missed my family, been to four countries, jumped out an airplane, and have met people it makes me sad to think of never seeing again.
In ACLE we have this activity called Bucket List, where students write down all the things they want to do in life. Usually, their lists are smaller than mine, and since starting this trip my list has shortened then expanded. I keep adding things, keep doing things, and feel restless any time I take a moment to sit alone.
During summers like this, I feel more alive and flexible to other people and situations. I love everything more and myself more. At the end of the day, I have to say thank you, and it’s all I can say, yet I don’t feel it captures the scope. I hope you all have magical experiences; take the person you are when you’re at your best and try to make them your everyday.
With love,
Noah Chase
