I got back from Panama about 2 and a half weeks ago, and I am going through extreme reverse culture shock. Everything is so different, and it will take me a while to get used to being back here. I have a reunion with my SWBA family this weekend though, and I am very excited to see them all again. nbsp;It will help to have some people who have experienced the same thing to talk to face to face.

Yesterday was my last day of classroom SWBA work. In 11 days the people I have spent the last 4 months growing and changing with will be picking me up at my local rec center and taking me to the beautiful country of Panama.



I am really starting to get excited!nbsp;

Hey!



My name is Erin, and I am a Student without boarders. nbsp;In 13 days, me and 23 other students will be traveling to Panama for a five week adventure. nbsp;We wish to spend enough time in another culture that when we come back we will feel like tourist in our home culture. nbsp;For the past couple of months we all have been going to school together and preparing ourselves for the experiences that we will have in Panama. nbsp;



The journey began in September, and I can#39;t wait to see what the journey will bring in all of us in our futures, so let the journey continue!



Erin



Head.Heart.Hands.
