“Your whole heart is a village, everyone you love has built it”

Coming back to the United States was a very surreal experience. My journey abroad felt like one long, vivid dream that I had just woken up from. As a result, it was very hard to process everything that had just happened…

Moments That Take Your Breath Away

One of my favorite quotations to live by is “Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.” As I get ready to leave Starfish International, I have realized that this quotation is more applicable to my life than…

Awakening in Disbelief

And so it begins…
