What I Learned

After being back in the country for two weeks, I'm finally over my culture-shock, and I'm ready to detail what I learned.

1) Americans are, by and large, LAZY! Don't get me wrong; I love being an American, and I love America. But there are so many people in the world that do so much more with so much less. We can do better.

2) Africa is the most amazing place on earth. Everyone should go there. We hear so many negative stories on the news about the poverty, pollution, and corruption, and while those things are there, the people and the natural beauty more than make up for it. 

3) We can all be a little more brave. So many people are paralyzed by fear, and never accomplish what they could because they're scared of change. I'm so glad I had the guts to go to a third-world country by myself, and I can't wait to do it again (sorry mom).

Thanks again for reading!
