I never gave an official, "I'm home!" or "I'm leaving!" when I left last year, and I have often regretted it.
I've been feeling especially nostalgic these past few months over the experience I had, the wonderful people I've met, and the lessons I will never forget.
Maybe I didn't go somewhere historical like China, or rich in tradition like England- but I absolutely do not regret it.
Mexico helped me to grow in ways I never expected; I learned about service, camaraderie, fierce family values, making due, and perseverance. I will always cherish my experience.
Here's to you, Mexico.
