Back Home

I cannot believe after all the planning, all the preparations, and all the fun our adventure has come to an end.  I am glad to be back home with my family, but am missing so much from India...especially my Indian buddies.  My list of good friends has expanded exponentially from all the wonderful bonds I created in India.

For anybody who is considering studying abroad, I say "DO IT"!  You will never regret the incredible memories, life-changing experiences, and wonderful friendships you gain by this adventure.  It is truly a life-altering experience.  Among many other things, I will never look at a cup of tea, an automobile, or a glass of water the same as I did before my awesome India experience.  Life seems so different now.  I'm sure some of my memories will fade with time, but the warmth of which our group was embraced by our Indian friends will stay with me forever.

Most of all, expect the unexpected, and prepare to be unprepared.  Learning to go with the flow will allow you the flexibility that makes your experience even more fulfilling.

Incredible India has made a permanent impression on me!
