Cheers!

So here I am six weeks later, sitting on my bed typing one of my final blogs from this amazing experience. It’s about twelve hours until our first of three flights on our way back home. I can’t believe how fast it had gone. I can’t believe I am done with all my college assignments. I can’t
believe I will be graduating next Saturday. I can’t believe I will be teaching first grade back in South Dakota in the fall either.

I feel like I cannot thank my host family, the QUT staff, and the Morayfield East State School staff enough for this experience. It has been unreal. I have a feeling that even when I do return to the states I will realize even more things that Australia has taught me. I am definitely anticipating
those ‘ah-ha’ moments!

I do have to admit though; I am beyond excited to return to Minnesota to see my family and friends! I have to hit the ground running with plans in place and preparing for graduation weekend so hopefully jet lag doesn’t hit me too hard!

Here’s to a life changing adventure and to many more to come!

“Cheers!”
