The friendships I have made through my time in China are some that I know will be friendships for life. Spending every day and every night with my classmates was a very new experience and one that has helped me grow as a person. Feeling the emotional connection to each person has been life changing for me. During the day everyone was in work mode and we all came together to create the best lesson plans for the children we were working with. After work we spent many meals together talking, laughing and enjoying each others company. We experienced the wonderful culture in Chengdu together. Many of us would have deep and meaningful conversations in the wee hours of the night. We helped each other get through any homesickness or physical sickness that we may have been going through. Acts of kindness from one another like bringing home food from dinner for someone that wasn’t feeling well brought us together as a family. Although we might have had some disagreements at times we always worked through them by consistently communicating with one another. I personally know I have come back with so much more knowledge and drive because of everyone in our group. Thank you for such an amazing journey! Love, Joe
