Page: I'm a Youth Ambassador. Now look what I have done!

When I think back on my last night in Taiwan I wasn't sad or even thinking about how the next morning when I would have to be getting on a plane and coming back home to Dallas. I was out with my host, DEMI, and others friends at the Taipae night market singing karaoke! Every Sha-la-la-la Every Wo-o-wo-o, the signature song! It was a great way to end the trip just hanging out with everyone. When we went back home we said our last goodbyes and took more pictures with the family. They also gave Kathleen and myself a beautiful flower necklace, which we both were not expecting. I began packing my bags to go home to Plano and my once disaster of a room was empty:(

I got back from Taiwan yesterday evening and just now am getting a chance to write in the blog! Words cannot express the amazing memories that I have created and will remember for a lifetime. I have established friendships all with people across the world and a mom, dad, and sisters that I can call my second family. I have not only conceived friendships with the those back in Taiwan, but my fellow delegates as well. I can call these people my good friends and didn't even know them before this trip.

I imagined what it was going to be like but could have only dreamt in my wildest dreams how spectacular it was going to be in actuality. I have learned so much about the civilization of Asia and grown a profound knowledge of the Taiwanese culture. I hope to travel back in the future and maybe even fly up to go see my student graduate next year!

I cannot thank Ms. Williams, Mrs. Sloan, Mrs. Francis, Mrs. Jan, or Ms. Erma enough for allowing me this amazing once in a lifetime opportunity for me to be part of this delegation and a 2010 Plano Youth Ambassador. They have done so much hard work behind the scenes and are not credited, so thank you again! I must also acknowledge and thank the Taiwanese Chamber of Commerce, City of Taoyuan, The DFW Chamber of Commerce, and the City of Plano. I feel so grateful to have been given the honor and gone on this prodigious trip!

Farewell Taiwan!
