Party in the USA

Sorry for the Miley Cyrus reference, I couldn't resist. It's official... I am coming home in July!! I have been struggling and struggling with my decision for the past month or so, but after talking to my mom, my best friend, and people here, I am certain that my next step is to come home. As much as it will break my heart to leave my students and the mountains, I really want to make every year of my 20s a new adventure. I am ready for the next thing. I have some great options for law school (I haven't picked one yet) and I could end up in a lot of cool places. Most of the law programs I'm looking at have summer abroad opportunities also, so my traveling is nowhere near over.

Being in Honduras has made me really excited to practice law. I am hoping to study either international or immigration law, both of which would allow me to help people like my neighbors, friends, and students in Honduras. I want to use my Spanish and never stop traveling and never stop exploring new adventures. I mean, come on... I have the whole world in front of me!

So, I feel great about my decision. I'm excited to come home and drink Starbucks. But I'm more excited to come home and apply everything I've learned this year to my life in the States. I am just a different person now than I was seven months ago. I have changed in a way that I didn't know I could.

Today is Saturday, which means I'll spend the day lounging around in my hammock and looking at the mountain in my backyard. My life gives new meaning to the word blessed. And I think the best is yet to come!
