Day 14 Reflections from Osamah

Today is a very sad day. We are leaving our beloved exchange student to go to what we call home. I’m having mixed emotions right now. I don’t want to leave, but I miss home and my brothers. I woke up at 6:20 to eat a protein bar before fasting. I’m super ready for my last day fasting for only 12 hours but I don’t want to get back to fasting 16 hours. That’s 4 extra long hours that I could be eating. After breakfast I started packing because I was too lazy last night. After packing I took a shower and got ready for this depressing last day. I said good bye to my exchange students mom and then rode to school. I then took some pictures with my guy’s brother, sister, and father before going to homeroom. At Home room I said goodbye to all the people I won’t see in 6 months which took a very big toll on me. They are friends that I may never see again. After this sad sight, my friends and I walked to and went to different elementary school classes. I read books to them and answered so many funny questions. They asked what food I liked, what sports I play, and lots of stuff about tornadoes and flying cows. This one kid literally brought it up out of nowhere. He was like,”do you have flying cows when tornadoes come?” I died with laughter and said that I’ve never seen it happen. Now I am chilling in the park with Cole and Milen. We are talking about license and driving, which is sad cause I won’t get my license till after my student comes. I just arrived in the casino and it’s getting saucy in here. Everyone is eating but with sad vibes. I’m not ready to leave this place. After that I spent my last moment with Andres in math class where I watched him work on test corrections. After the sad bell rang, we walked down to the reception to grab my bags. It felt like we walked in slow motion because of all the sad heavy hearts in one place. I gave out so many hugs that if I had a dollar for each hug I gave, I’d probably have 47 dollars. I then saw Suki ball her eyes out when she said she wouldn’t which was very hysterical. I also cried 1 tear but then decided that it was time to be a man. I was sad when we left but I have many pictures that will help me remember my friends. We got into the airport and checked in my bags but the woman at the desk made me mad. She literally took like an eternity while my friends took a solid 2 minutes. Now I’m waiting to leave to the gate with the group. We are at a restaurant called johnny rockets and I’m starving. I haven’t eaten yet and I will break my fast on 20 minutes. My stomach is growling but I’m prepared to wait for a delicious meal. I just bought some pasta and ate it until I couldn’t feel my tongue. We are waiting for the boarding to occur and I’m ready to board the plane and sleep. I got onto the plane and I found my self in a row with no one next to me. I was delighted that I was able to finesse my way through the plane and actually relax. I watched the rest of the movie split that I didn’t finish during the previous flight and then slept. When I slept, my dream was very sad because of the emotions I am feeling right now. I enjoyed this trip and would never want to take it back for the world. I guarantee every single one of the people on this trip would not want to take back these two amazing weeks. All I can say to end off the last blog is thank you to Ms. Solis and Senor CRAIG for everything they have done for me and my friends on this trip.
