Make it last forever

About two weeks ago, I embarked on a journey to Cambodia, and over the next few weeks I would get the experience of a life time.  Nothing can truly describe Cambodia's beauty and peacefulness.  I remember stepping off the plane, my first step into the thriving country, the humid air, the joyful atmosphere, and my heart wanting to explode of excitement.  From that day forth I had a spark of inspiration to give everyday 110% and give it my all.
Looking back to the first day we met the kids, it seemed like yesterday, because our time was limited and we had to make every second count. The thought of never seeing the kids again makes you feel down but at the same time pushed me to offer the most I could.  Everyday I think about how the kids have influenced me and how I was able to make a difference in their lives.  They taught me that your time is limited and to do what you want to do because you may not have tomorrow.  I love how the children would teach you such amazing life lessons without even realizing it.  Some of the most incredible learning experiences are the most unexpected.
On this trip I have grown so much due to the situations that I am put in.  At times I can be very shy, but this trip forced me to dive right in and get to know people. I'm finding it easier to put myself out there and not care what others think.  If I continued to care about what others thought of me, I would not have the courage to experience the new things that I have on this trip.  I now realize that breaking out of your shell is not scary but inspiring, because you are able to do things that you thought impossible.  I will miss Cambodia, but will never forget the memories that were made.

We leave Cambodia

All of our hearts filled with joy

To never forget
