Alaska Is:
Alaska is kind of like a salvation
on earth. A salvation is a place where you go to feel safe and where you go to
really discover the real you. That is what Alaska is REALLY all about…self-discovery.
Final Reflection:
When I first came to Alaska,
I thought, “How is this state any different from the others?” I also
didn’t believe past participants when they told me Alaska would change
nearly everything about me. I thought wrong. Alaska has shown me how people really
are behind their hair straighteners and makeup. I got a chance to see how unique
and awesome these people are. These are the same people that I probably never
would have talked to. Alaska taught me that no matter how rocky or steep the
mountain is, I can do it. It also taught me that I don’t need to be shown
the way to go, I can choose by myself. Alaska has not only changed me, but it
made me grow and for that Alaska will forever be a part of me.
