I came down early to have a quiet breakfast alone, and I wanted to share one thought I’ve been having this whole trip.
These seven teens are truly special. They have been respectful of all our speakers, asked important and thoughtful questions, and have been kind to each other (unless there’s a music dispute in the van).
It’s difficult to be one adult with seven kids for almost a week–but they’ve made it easy. This trip has been fantastic and it is in large part thanks to them.

No doubt this is a special group of kids, but it takes a very special chaperone to bring out the best in them. You organized an incredible trip, and then encouraged everyone to share with each other, and with us, the impact this journey has had on them. You have somehow managed to strike the perfect balance between fun, learning, and sharing. THANK YOU for your kind words, and expert guidance. Enjoy your last day and have a safe trip back!
