One thing I never thought about was how kind the staff were and how much fun it was to explore the cities and meet the other students on the team. We felt like one giant friend group and got close so quickly, making the experience feel so much more comfortable and fun. It’s been a few days since my trip ended, and I miss everyone I met so much. We all opened up to each other about school, our personal lives, our families, and so on. I still haven’t stopped texting and calling my new friends. Additionally, of course, the trip was eye-opening in terms of noticing health disparities in the world and living with that reality. This trip makes you want to do anything you possibly can to help other people who don’t enjoy the same privileges as us. I was also inspired by the positive attitudes and joy embodied by most of my patients, even the ones in the most difficult of situations. Overall, so much is taken from this trip, more than I ever could’ve expected or paid for.
