Coming To America

So here it is folks, this is my last post from Africa. Over two years ago, I like many others before me, set out to make a dent in the world. I learned that the world dents you right back. I am a better person for having come and ridden this bumpy road.

I think that the biggest dent in me is the America shaped one. I appreciate my liberties and culture more now than I ever thought I could. I got all teary eyed when I was thanked on behalf of the U.S. govt and for serving my country.


Some stuff, I will miss about PC life and stuff I do miss about home.

I will miss

Slow days
fresh food
big sky's
stars
baobab trees
naps
choosing my schedule
seeing a noticeable difference

I do miss
people
soft things to sit and sleep on
consistency
food
fast internet
being a classroom teacher
America

Thanks for reading, I will post a couple more times about our trip home and the readjustment but there is a light at the end of this tunnel.
