Today was our last day teaching and it was truly a
bitter-sweet situation. Before ending
our day we were asked what we took away most from this experience. During our
group talk I didn’t have much to say. But after some deep thought, I realized
that this is one of the most amazing experiences of my life. After leaving
Belize I will not only be a better teacher but a better overall person. I am
now a more humble, appreciative, and resourceful person. When I get back to the
United States there is no way I could ever go back to the person that I once
was. I am forever changed. There are so
many things that I learned that I can bring back that can positively impact my
future students in the USA. I originally thought I would come to Belize and
have this huge impact, but I found that Belize had a greater impact on me. I
thank God for this wonderful experience, it is truly a once in a lifetime
opportunity. I hope that all the other UofL students take away something great
from this opportunity. I KNOW I did!!!
