Alaska Is:
         Alaska is a word unspoken. It is every emotion one could experience. Alaska is indescribable. Every day is filled with something new. No two are alike. Everyone is different and everyone goes through things they never imagined doing. By the end of the trip, when asked what Alaska is, there is no answer, except...everything.

Final Reflection:
        I have grown so much this year. I have learned so much about myself and about other people. These have been the best three weeks of my life. I have not only felt good accomplishing so much myself, but watching the participants go through it all as well. It’s such a great feeling and it’s so much fun watching them grow. They have done so much that they never thought they could do. Everyone’s eyes change on this trip. Though always unique and beautiful, they are ever changing. At the beginning of the trip, our eyes were unsure but very anxious. Throughout the trip, they become more kind, friendly, and full of laughter. Now, as we are coming upon the closure of our three-week journey, our eyes are filled with warmth, love, but sparkling with tears as we say our final goodbyes to one another, as a group, for the last time. This trip has been so full of laughter, and love, and I love everyone who has been here with me for the most amazing three weeks of my life. And though we have to say goodbye, there will always be that look of love and warmth in my eyes for everyone on this trip. I will always love you.
