We're Home:(

hello everyone!

I'm not even sure if anyone will read this but I figured I would write one last blog. We are back in the U.S.A and right now I'm sitting in school. It's absolutly crazy! I never would have thought that two weeks could change me so much! But it has. I went from being the incridibly chatty person in class, to realizing that we all need to respect our teachers a little more. When i sat in band class yesturday I almost wanted to cry. We all take so much advantage of our lives. It's crazy to see how teens in America, escpecially in our little bubble of Jackson, can have absolutly no idea how good they have it. I hope everyone sometime in their life can come to this realization, and appreciate their education and all the everyday things that we take advantage of, such as clean drinking water, washing machines, paper, pencils, pens, and so much more! When you start to get furstrated with your life I chanllenge you to look at things from another perspective. If you're frustrated with money, do you make over 25 cents a day? If you are frustrated with school, just know that we are ignorant americans. If you are frustrated with your mother, think about not having one, or not having a father, or both and also missing your siblings. It's a very lonely world out there for many many people and we just need to be thankful every day of our lives for what we have!
Always

For as wonderful as your other blog entries were, I like your last the best, done while sitting in class in the U.S. All of us should tape it to a wall where we can see it every day. Shape your lives by your Cambodia experience girls!
