Last day

Yesterday was one of the hardest most emotional days of my life. I had to leave my home of three months and some of the best friends I have ever had. Our "sea" was the last to leave the ship. I didn't think that I would cry but my friend Emily and I walked onto the sixth deck to watch fellow students leave the ship and we just lost it. It was so hard to say goodbye and accept that this amazing experience was over. I don't think I have ever been as happy as I have been these last months. I have learned, experienced, and grown so much. I can never thank my parents for giving me this absolutely amazing experience, it means the world to me. I love Semester at Sea, I am a better person because of it.
