Going back home – Fabian Limas

So this is it, my last night here in Hong Kong. I have to say, its been quite a trip, but I?m more than ready to go back home. I miss my family, my girlfriend, and my friends. I?ve never been they type of person to miss anyone or get home sick. My home city being seven hours away from college station proves that, but this was different. Being on complete other side of the world has this psychological effect on you where you know you?re far from home, and you know there?s no way that you can get to family or the things you hold dear fast enough. This may seem kind of extreme, however you do learn a lot about yourself. You?re horizons expand past that of the ?American Bubble? we built for ourselves. You see that the world is not all a big, and bad scary place away from the safe comfort of your home. When you travel, you get this high, and excitement that you have never felt before. You?re doing it alone, meeting new people, exploring new worlds you?ve only seen on TV, experiencing different cultures. That is what this experience is all about. That?s why going to a country that is extremely different will help you see the world at a different angle. If you?re reading this to determine if you want to do a REEP program here, I say take the leap. What are you waiting for?
