A Life Mission
Over the course of the trip, I have allowed myself to be vulnerable and fall in love with every kid. I developed trust, bonds, and relationships with each child there. When we had to leave, it was one of the most emotional times of my life. I experienced sadness because I had to leave my brothers and sisters, and also joy because I felt I had influenced them in a great way. The older boys laughed and joked about the thought of crying before we left, but when the time came, they felt as much sadness as I did. They referred to me as brother when we were saying our goodbyes and that just made me cry even more. Those kids changed my life and will always have a place in my heart. I will always remember each moment, child, and experience. A life mission of mine is to make it back to my new family and once again bring them the joy and happiness that they deserve.
