Take Away

My final week in ES was perhaps the most devastating. It may have to do with the fact that I was not prepared to come back to Canada, I was afraid that I had somehow lost myself while on my own journey to find myself. I had to mediate on what I would be taking away from ES. I didn't want the negativity of the last week to cloud what had been a life altering experience.

I have brought with me from ES benevolence. The warmth of the Salvadoran people have allowed me shed the icy exterior that I tend to hide behind and made me human. I have cried and laughed in El Salvador. I have thrown out the window my inhibitions and have come to realize that I am proud of the person I am becoming.
