Friendship

The people that I have meet on this trip are some of the best people to be around. It is fascinating to learn about everyone because we all come from very different backgrounds. Between the American students and the Indian students I have meet so many people that I am proud to call my friends. The energy level that the Indian students have everyday amazes me and has made my stay so much more enjoyable. The students in this program truly care about each other and I am so grateful to had have the opportunity to live with these people. Every morning when I walk down the stairs for breakfast I am always greeted with a big Hi Dana or HEY BUDDY! I am not a morning person by any means and to have such positive attitudes by the students really helps motivate me for the rest of the day. The amount of love that these students show is one of the greatest things to experience. The other night there was about 6 of us at a table eating dinner and we made a cheer for ever person at that table. I can’t remember the last time that I cheered or made a toast with my friends for no reason. I think that this gesture reminds us to care for each other and appreciate those that mean a lot to us. The hospitality of the students has also be so much more than I could have asked for. They have made sure that we have gotten everything we need to be happy and healthy. Many of the American students have gotten sick and I am always seeing an Indian student asking what they can do to help us and make us feel more comfortable. I think that the positive attitude of the Indian students has given me a new perspective about the way I act and treat the people I care about. I know that my experiences with both the American students and especially the Indian students will have a huge impact on me for the rest of my life.
