last night reflections

      I’m sad to leave the village and all the friends I have made over the trip and going four-wheeling. The biggest thing I will miss most is all the dinners we had all together, having funny conversations, bonding with one another and also the food that we got to try. From the beginning I was super excited to go back to the village and look into the different cultures such as, the weather change, the language, the food and the different personalities all around. This experience made me feel more comfortable traveling away from home because I usually really like to travel anyways, especially in groups of people because while everyone is traveling and waiting for our next flight that time is just bonding time whether it feels like a person is a complete stranger in the group or if it’s with a person you know really well, you bond with them.

Something I thought I could never do is just ball all 5 days that we were there, in our free time that’s all me and Calista did. We also did have a couple games with Napakiak, but still, we played horse a lot, played with the other high schoolers. While we played horse we always tried to do far shots, it was mostly half court or maybe a foot closer. After a good game of horse my shoulder hurt a lot because of those made/missed half court shots from putting too much power in. Besides from playing basketball all the time I also thought I would never go on the ice again and go ice fishing too.
