It has now been 5 months since I have returned from Costa Rica. As I look back on it and reminisce over pictures and conversation, I really miss Costa Rica. I learned a lot there, about culture, life, and myself. I really matured and gained a greater sense of the word "home". I gained a new mom and a new family. I'm really thankful and grateful for the host family I had while I lived in Costa Rica. I'm thankful for the new great friend that was added to my life and the other amazing people I met from across the globe. I wouldn't give back this experience for anything. It was challenging, yet also rewarding. I appreciate my school, Missouri S&T for opening the door for such a great opportunity. I am thankful for my mom and boyfriend for helping me get through that tough time period in my life. Most importantly, I love and am thankful for God getting me through and always being my strength. I learned many life lessons and gained a fresh new perspective on the world. I will always cherish the memories I made in those 4 months. I will miss the traveling and the beautiful beaches I relaxed on. I will never forget the amazing waterfalls, volcanoes, and forests I was able to experience and explore.
Here are a few pictures from some memories I made there.
