Alaska Is:
         Alaska is probably one of the most interesting places I have ever been. This is my second time coming on the trip, and I am seeing things that I didn’t see on my first trip and learning new things, not only about Alaska, but also about myself. Alaska is a place of growth, and I know I have grown as a person and also have seen other grow. Alaska is a place where you can learn to push yourself. I pushed myself to climb two mountains and run a race. In the end, everything I have done in Alaska has been worth it, no matter how hard or tiring it was.

Final Reflection:
        This trip has been an awesome experience. It was different coming to Alaska for my second time, and being a junior leader. This second trip has been a learning experience for me, and I can tell that I have grown as a person. I got to climb two mountains, run in a race, see beautiful sights, and meet and bond with so many new people. I am thankful that I got the opportunity to be a part of the Alaska Great Lakes Project, and come to the great state of Alaska once again.
