Alaska Is...

                Alaska is… worth more than a thousand words.  I still can’t believe that I am here, while others twice my age couldn’t even imagine traveling to this great state.  I am ever so grateful for such an extraordinary experience, and I, truly, will never forget this summer.

Final Reflections

         Alaska is a real land of exploration.  The vast rolling mountains cascading behind the bodies of water bordering the winding roads.  I really learned so much during my three weeks here.  It was so nice to get to know everyone on the trip and get over their “labels.”  I really connected with everyone in my tent.  This was really a once in a lifetime opportunity.  It was truly magical to see everything we have seen and at such a young age, a lucky one.  I mean, I’m the only one in my family to have ever traveled here and from what I will tell them of what I did, I know they will be jealous.  We are so privileged to have the AGLP program in or community.  I am sad to be leaving such a beautiful state, but I do know I have had a wonderful experience, and have gotten my moneys worth!  Our van was so much fun too.  We played games, sang songs, and shared laughs, which I will never forget.  Thank you so much for everything!
