THE END!

After 12 months and 7 days in Guatemala, I am finally coming home! I will be home on Saturday night, June 27th. For a goodbye party, I did a pinata and cooked tostadas and cake with my kids. I also gave my clase a pet fish to remember me by!

It is a weird mix of feelings, from relieved and happy to sad and confused. Every volunteer here questions at the end of the year, ¨Did I do enough for the kids? Did I make all the right decisions and really soak up my time here?¨ They are difficult questions that each of us have to answer for ourselves. I still am not sure what I am doing next, or how I will incorporate the experiences I had here in my future career.

I wonder if my kids will remember me. But at the end of the day it doesn´t matter, because for one year, I was a part of their lives and they were a part of mine.

Adios, te cuides mucho (Goodbye, and take good care of yourself)!
