As we are nearing the end of our SCL journey, I can’t help but get sad about not being around my other American scholars anymore!!! They are such awesome people and I love them so. We are all so different but have a great time when we are together. I have gotten to know some people very well, and that has been so amazing. I’ve gone on trips with them, played ball against them, played ball with them, done community service with them, and have had many laughs with them. SCL really brings in some good people and I’ve had the pleasure of getting to know them. I never felt too far away from home because of the 22 Americans scattered throughout this beautiful country with me. I’ve had so much fun with them and hope to stay in touch after this year in Ireland. It will be so interesting to see where everyone ends up, and what their future endeavors will be. But I can guarantee these people will be successful in some way or another.
Although I will be the only scholar staying here in Ireland until the completion of my coursework in August, I am also appreciative of my Irish friends—through basketball and through school. I’m excited to be able to travel more this summer, as well as spend more time with these people I have also grown so close with. Can’t wait xxx
