I am home now and have had time to think about my trip. I would just like to thank everyone who supported me so that I was able to go on this life changing trip. I learned three very valuable things on this trip. I learned how lucky I am and how much I should value the caring Vail Valley that I live in. I learned to value how much opportunity we have in this country. People in Nicaragua have the same potential as you and me, but they do not have the  opportunity we have. And most importantly I learned what kind of person I want to be in life.

I wouldn't have had the amazing life changing experience that I did on this trip and I wouldn't have been able to help or even meet the amazing students at Escuela Especial without your help and support. These kids have changed my life. I hope that I changed theirs too. Thank you all so much!

Thank you:
