This morning I feel grateful for opportunity. My parents, who worked hard to be where they are at, have provided me with the opportunity to pay for this trip, and the support and encouragement to take a different path then most. My anthropology teacher, Mr. Lopilato, who introduced me to the possibility of a gap year, and the wonders of India. My leaders and my group, who gave me the opportunity to be myself and who grew with me. Mostly, I’m grateful for all the inspiring, incredible people I’ve met in this country that taught me about the world in a way I’ve never seen before.
