It was so hard to say goodbye and leave Bulembu. The town
became my home for the summer and the people became my family. I hope that I
was able to make a difference in their lives, as they were able to make a big
difference in mine. I learned so much about myself this summer that I could not
have anywhere else. I had to overcome fears, work outside of my comfort zone,
and do things that I had never done before. What I learned in Bulembu I can
take back with me for working with children back home, and teaching in the
future. The teachers and principal were so helpful in providing tips and
feedback for teaching. Those are things that you can only learn through
experience. I hope I was able to teach the kids something new. Whether that was
through the math lesson that I taught or just from our conversations about The
United States and my life and theirs. Bulembu is such an incredible town and
the people there are doing amazing things. I hope that one day I can return to
Bulembu to continue making a difference there.
