The End

Alright, so I've been here for two months now and I'm leaving tomorrow night at 10 P.M. I'm not really sure what exactly to say about this whole experience. To people who've been reading my blog while I've been here, I hope you enjoyed it and for anyone who is reading this for the first time, check out a random post and you'll learn a lot about what it's like here in Nairobi. I've experienced so much here and have gained so much. I'll miss Kenya, a lot, there's no denying that but I feel like it's finally time to go back to the states.

I was asked by a professor at Drake what "home" means to me. The rest of the students all said where they were from or their family, etc. I think that these things are important but they are not home to me. I believe that where I go, that becomes my home. I never leave home because home is what is buried deep inside of my heart and mind. It sounds a little cheesy but the world is home to me, it is for everyone, people just don't realize it at times. So for the past two months, Nairobi, Kenya has been my home; it's been where I've eaten, slept, worked, lived, and built many new friendships and more. I love Kenya, I love Nairobi, and I've fallen in love with Ngong Road Childrens Association and its people.

I've grown more here than I thought imaginable and I feel like I've seen parts of this Earth that everybody needs to see for themselves. I don't feel blessed or fortunate or anything like that, I just feel...good.

Goodbye Kenya, I am looking forward to when I can see you again.
