Final Thoughts

The past eleven days in Portland, Jamaica have been arguably the most rewarding, eye-opening, incredible days of my life.  It was a true adventure, and I am so grateful for all the amazing friends I've met who all share the same passion for music.  The best part, without a doubt, was going into the schools and meeting the energetic, kind, helpful, loving students and sharing music with them.  I already miss them so much!  Saying goodbye to them was so difficult.  I am so happy that we had the chance to bring more music and cheer to their already cheerful school.  They've taught us so much--from showing us new games at recess to showing us how to better care and love for one another.  We will surely remember this week forever and I will miss these kiddos with their contagious energy and their contagious smiles so much.  This trip was definitely unforgettable, and I am so grateful to have had this incredible opportunity.
