Saying Goodbye

by Ibeth Nuñez

By the end of the week in Peru, we were all ready to be home. We were tired and the anticipation of going home was building up. We all knew that the end of our trip was coming to an end, so how was our last time together on a bus? Let's just say there was a lot of singing and dancing involved.

Wednesday was our last time together as a group and needless to say there were some tears involved. It is so cool to think how a group of strangers became like a family. We got to experience many things together, and we were able to build a community that helped us get through the hardships of being away from home.

Now some of us are already home while others are making their way home. Saying our goodbyes was bittersweet. Even though many of us will still keep in touch we know it will be hard having the whole group together again. 

We all had our crazy fun moments and those other moments that drove people crazy. I would not change anything from our trip because all of those frustrating, awkward, and at times painful moments all created the awesome experience of studying abroad with an awesome group of people. I just want to let you guys know I think everyone in the group is awesome and I am glad I got to experience Chile and Peru with you. I will miss you guys!
