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”
