Homeward Bound

Hello Ladies and Gents,

It's hard to believe but our time here in Korea has come an end. This time last year, Eric and I found ourselves riddled with anxiety as we were about to head into our classrooms for the first time. Coming here was a big step out of our comfort zones and was not an easy decision to make. We were worried about leaving our friends and family behind as well as the comforts that Western society provided for us. However, having survived a year in the East I couldn't feel more postive about our experience here. This isn't to say that we didn't encounter frutrastions and difficulties in this new culture, because we often did. But this past year has really allowed us to grow; we've grown up, we've grown closer, and we've become a lot more appreciative for the life we have in Portland. All in all this year was a great success. The next time you'll be hearing from us will be when we arrive stateside on the 26th. I promise a deeper reflextion on our year abroad then.

See everyone soon,
Dana and Eric
