Friendships Built To Last

When I first met everyone at the airport, I had no idea what to expect them to be like. Most of them were new to me, other that Lauriane and Steven, I didn’t know anyone on this trip. When we found out our roomies, mine was Nikki, I was really hoping she would like me, turns out we are like the same person.

As the days went by, I started making more and more connections. These people are the best people I have ever met, and I’m hoping to stay in touch with them the rest of my life.

I was with Liane, Lauriane, Steven, Nikki, Shannon, and Nick most of the time, but it wasn’t just the day trips, it was also the late night talks in the Banana’s hallway that made these people special, with Austin, Bryce, Chelsea, Mike, and Zack sitting in there with me as well. The laughs we shared at the dining table in the morning were oddly comforting because I missed them the next morning when we were back in our own homes. It makes me want to go back and be in that room with all of them again, sharing stories, and laughing with each other, and just enjoying the company.

And meeting Joe in the airport when he was on standby, just to find out he got accepted on to our plane.

“Friendship is the hardest thing in the world to explain. It’s not something you learn in school. But if you haven’t learned the meaning of friendship, you really haven’t learned anything.”

  1. I absolutely enjoyed every second spent with you and the rest of the group as well. The morning after we got back, it did not feel the same without the Banana and without the rest of the group. I am glad I was able to spent those 5 days with everyone and become friends with you, Coryn 🙂

  2. Wow, Coryn, you buried the lede (as journalists say when the best stuff comes late in a story). I love your video. Everybody, watch Coryn’s video! That’s what I always hope will happen on these trips: students will build new friendships, experience a rich new culture.
