Alaska Is

Alaska is Life changing. It teaches you things about yourself you never knew before.

Final Reflections

            Alaska has taught me many things; between the people we have met, the places we have gone, and the experiences we have had, I have learned a lot.  I’ve learned how to be more responsible and more independent. The Alaska Great Lakes Project has been a life changing experience.
            At the beginning of the trip I wasn’t really sure what to expect. I really had no idea what it would be like. Everyone told me “ Alaska will change your life”.  They were right.  Alaska has allowed me to try new things I never would have imagined myself doing.
            There are so many things I am going to miss about Alaska. One of the things I’m going to miss the most is my van.  At the beginning of the trip I didn’t really know any of them very well, other than Abbey. Now our whole van is just like a family. Another thing I’m going to miss is getting to try something new everyday.  I have so many amazing memories on this trip from sliding down a mountain on a snow bank to seeing a wolf just five feet away from the bus we were on.
 I am never going to forget my experiences here in Alaska.  I hope I can get the chance to come back again as a junior leader.
