Throughout this experience I have had the chance to establish new viewpoints on things and have re-evaluated my life back at home. Perhaps the most prominent realization I have made is the significance of family; the importance of being together has become a much greater priority to me. I thought being away from my family would be a lot easier than it's turning out to be. It goes without saying that I am counting down the weeks until I get to see them once more...5 weeks! I miss you all so much and I love you guys more than you know! XO
