Saying Goodbye

“Adventure is worthwhile”

Aesop

I have always wanted to study aboard and see the world since I was little and my desire grew when I went to Italy on a school trip my sophomore year of highschool. Ever since then I have had this strong desire to see the whole world, I knew I wanted to learn everything about someone else’s culture. I wanted to learn about the people, art, nature and traditions that make a destination a home. Now finally the time has come where I am beginning my adventures for more than a week somewhere else in the world. This is the start of not only a semester, but my life of traveling everywhere. I could not be more excited to begin this journey. The hardest part is leaving all the amazing friends I have made behind at Plymouth, in Melrose and most importantly my extremely supportive family. I know through this journey I will grow and learn a lot about not all the the places I will see, but also myself. I am excited to expand my horizons.

Before I left I got to have one last gathering with all my closets friends from Plymouth, I could not of asked for a better way to leave the people I have grown so close to. They all came over to have a few drinks, cake and hangout with me before I left. Most people just talked to me about how Australia has so many dangerous animals and insects and warned me not to die out here. I mostly rolled my eyes knowing I would be okay. The night last long into the night and will be one that I always remember. For anyone who came thats reading this thanks you and I appreciated your presence that night it truly meant a lot.  I went home the next day to see my family and it was nice to spend time with them before my big departure. I was able to see both my grandparents and I was very appreciative of all their love they sent me with. Thank you to everyone who helped get me ready to leave on this next big chapter of my life, I cant wait to grow and share all my adventures with everyone who reads this blog.
