More than ever before, I have had the best experience in my 17 years of life. In support of this statement, I can say that today I had a fun and wonderful day. To begin with, we went with the Jamaica scholars to Long Bay Beach; it was such a great joy to dance with them on the beach. We connected our dances with their dances and made music. After that we ate lunch on the beach, we talked, and got to know the scholars even better. I hope that when I leave they feel like we were very special to them and made them feel good about their culture as well. They had great things to say about us too. In addition, when I get back home, I will let everyone know that I have learned how to speak some Patwa. However, in the time that I'm in Jamaica, I will show nothing but loving and caring and Ma'at, as well. In my community, I will tell them and speak to them about Jamaica and let them know about the intelligent people I learned about and the beautiful things I have witnessed. In the past, I have said bad things about Jamaica, but now I can take back what I said because I have learned and seen the beautiful stuff that my Jamaican friends has had to overcome. I will always speak on my experience in Jamaica and it has only been the 2nd day!!!!!!!!
