Last Blog post

So I always meant to do one last post to sum up the experience but clearly I've been slacking since being home.  Actually, I dont think I've really been slacking its just hard to sum up 2 years of my life.  I keep running into this problem as friends, family, and acquaintances I havent seen in awhile keep asking me how it was over there or did I have a good time? Umm it was good.. Yes I had a good time. But in reality the experience was much more nuanced than a simple one word answer.  Even sitting down and talking about it for 5 minutes and we're barely brushing the surface of what my experience was.  So anyways this blog is a bit late but I think I've needed these 3 months to finish processing everything.  These past 2 years have probably impacted and shaped my life much more than all the 22 years before them.
So if you really want to hear how my experience was pencil an hour in for a phone convo or coffee sometime. Otherwise just know it was a phenomenal experience for me that really changed my life. I cant say I loved every minute of my time there but I definitely loved most of it and wouldnt trade that experience for anything. Check out another video below.

Anyways as for the next chapter in my life. I just finished applying to law school so just waiting to hear back from all the schools so I can decide where I want to go.  I would like to study Human Rights Law. I am currently back home living with the fam for awhile. I started working as a teller about a month ago and really enjoy it so far. It has been great seeing all my friends and family again but I do miss Sierra Leone and all my students, friends, colleagues, and the dog I left behind. I am hoping to go back next summer before beginning law school.
