From Issa:

Nothing is ever harder than going home after such an incredible and enlightening experience.  Looking out the window while driving from San Juan Del Sur to the airport in Managua was a sad moment for me at first.  I was realizing that all the fun and the sun was going to be no more, especially since I learned that it is supposed to snow on the day after I get back.  Then I realized that although this trip benefited me and was coming to an end, our group left Nicaragua making a positive impact on the lives of the entrepreneurs.  I will never forget the faces of each and every entrepreneur as we were working with them and presented them with their final products.  That moment in itself made this trip worth every penny.  Then I got to thinking, how many people can say that they had an unreal amount of fun while having a positive impact on the lives of people during their Spring Break.  Our group was fifteen people strong and each person had their own unique perspective that they brought to the table.  Looking back, this trip gave me the opportunity to bond with people that I would never have even had the opportunity to meet.  Each day provided everyone a wonderful opportunity to bond whether it was at breakfast, the pool, or at the beach.  Overall I thoroughly enjoyed this experience and feel that it has improved me both personally and professionally.  I greatly look forward to hearing back from the entrepreneurs that we helped in the coming months.  As I look out the incredibly small window as the plane takes off, the only phrase rung through my head is, “Thank you Nicaragua until we meet again”
