All in all I had a GREAT TIME!
The last two weeks may be the best two weeks I've ever had in my life. Being able to spend it in a whole different country other than USA or RMI. Experiencing a whole new culture and a whole new environment was great. Seeing how the outside world is and how other people cope with life and whanot. Staring off my summer in Germany was a great way to start my summer. I love how all these german hosts KNOW their way from one place to another with public transport. Like, public transpor there is soooo confusing! We'd take like 2 buses and 3 trains and another bus and another train just to get to our destination. CRAZY! haha. But I like it. Also, as we travel to places I notice there's way more ethnicities other than Germans. The diversity here is just like how Springdales diversity is. Really really mixed. I can say that every field trip we had, our tour guides on each field trip come form a different ethnic background. This trip brought us Americans closer. In the beginning we all didn't really know each other and now we're all like a family. This trip did not only bring us closer to our host families but our american family as well. Being able to go to historical landmarks and places to chill was my favorite part of my whole trip. I've always wanted to see the Berlin Wall and the Brandenburger Gate. If it wasn't for this trip, I wouldn't have seen them. Also, the lakes here are really really pretty. Even the hills that were actually made from junks from the war. My other favorite part of this trip was when Frau Robinson told me that I was being a good example for the Marshallese community as an ambassador through out this trip. And she started tearing up. When she told me that, I really wanted to cry because it warmed my heart and made me feel like I am someone who could go far in life and I could achieve my goals. On behalf of the American group from SHS and HBHS I'd like to thank Frau Brazle and Frau Robinson for EVERYTHING that they've done for us. We may piss you guys off and get on yalls nerves at times, but we love the both of you. And if it wasn't for you two, we wouldn't have been here IN DEUTSCHLAND! It's been the best two weeks! I'll definitley miss it here. Especially spending it with this group. #SquadUp (;
