From the beginning of the school year I was counting down the days till our Greece trip. Right now, I am sitting on the floor of Newark airport outside of our gate feeling sad. I knew our trip would be the experience of a lifetime, but I underestimated how much I would fall in love with Greece.
Eating gyros, jumping in the Mediterranean, standing on top of Mycenae dangling my feet off the edge of a cliff, taking an island cruise were among some of my favorite moments and viewing the sights of the Golden Ages of Greece on the Acropolis. However, if I had to pick one moment that made my trip special it was riding my donkey, "Diva" up the island of Hydra. My bucket list for our trip was to ride a donkey (which I made extremely clear by announcing it to everyone repeatedly for months). This experience was breathtaking. I told Dr. Jean that the birth of my first child may not top this experience for me. I wanted to stay in that moment for the rest of my life.
I cannot express how many times I looked around during my time in Greece and thought how blessed I was to be able to experience it all. I want to thank my "sorority sisters" aka the girls on the trip for all the laughs, Dr. Jean and "Dr." Julie for being perfect and La Roche study abroad for designing this amazing opportunity.
"I ain't lucky I'm blessed."
