JR on his amazing co-educators

My blog post might be really sappy, but I really want to talk about the amazing group of students on this trip with me.  I feel like every day I learn something new about someone that gives me a new perspective on them as human beings, the decisions they make, and so on. I think I (and I’m sure many others), have an issue with developing an immediate opinion about a person from even a 2 second conversation.  This trip and the people here have really helped me to not always judge a book by its cover, something I definitely could use a lesson in.  And so many of the people on this trip have so much that I can learn from, constantly changing the way I think about the world, as well as about my time here.  I feel so lucky to have been able to meet all these people on this trip, and it’s amazing how close we’ve gotten over just a month.  I have so much to learn from everyone on this trip, yet so little time, but I do feel honored and privileged to share such an incredible experience with 28 other incredible human beings.
