"Time is a companion that goes with us on a journey. It reminds us to cherish each moment, because it will never come again. What we leave behind is not as important as how we have lived." (Picard)
If I have learned one thing thus far from my classes, friends, and new home it would be that each day, minute, and moment can teach you something new. New about yourself, and about how you view yourself and others in the world.
Last weekend I went on a camping trip to the Bay of Fires with an amazing group of people. Ten out of the eleven of us were from the states, and the eleventh, a girl name Anna from Sweden. This group, along with an assortment of Aussies and Europeans here have become my new family. However, they are different from any friends, or family I have ever had. Each person is someone who I would most likely not become really close friends with, and its actually been both enlightening and amazing to hear all of their stories. I regret any stereotypes I originally may have placed upon them, and I have learned that appearance, lifestyle, and hobbies do not completely predict who or what a person is.
The Bay of Fires was the most beautiful place I have ever seen, and the memories I made with these individuals will last a lifetime, if not longer...
