Hello to all my family, friends, and faculty that have following along during our great adventure! 4 weeks have flown by in a blink of an eye and sadly it’s time to head home.
Thailand has been an experience of a lifetime. I have gotten more out of this experience then I ever thought I would. I learned about Thailand’s healthcare system as well as their culture, but I have learned so much about myself. Being a somewhat “picky eater” I have tried more new foods here than I ever would have imagined. The best part about it was that I liked a lot of new things that I never would have thought I would. This has shown me that going outside of my comfort zone can lead to great things. In some ways Thailand has made me realize how privileged we really are. In other ways it has also opened up my eyes to how kind and humble people are in other parts of the world. I have seen more people in thailand who volunteer out of the goodness of their heart and because they love their country and their country’s people. Even though they do not have everything we have in the US, they are so happy and so grateful for what they do have, which is very admirable. It Along this adventure I have met so many new people and established relationships that I will cherish forever. It was amazing to be able to have this experience with 6 students from my class and 7 students from WNE. I have built stronger bonds with my own classmates and was able to establish new bonds with students from WNE. Thailand is a trip that we will all remember forever and be able to reflect on years down the road. The 3 years I spent looking forward to this APPE has exceeded my expectations and I could not be anymore grateful to have been given this opportunity.
