My experience this summer has honestly been life-changing. Not only did I travel to Morocco but I traveled to Costa Rica as well. I traveled across the world on my own into a different time zone. It felt liberating, but I was also terrified of being by myself. While I was in Africa, I was pretty worried about anything happening to me and not having the ability to defend. I know for sure to think about things I didn’t think about while preparing for my trip, for the future. I could’ve gone to Spain after Morocco, I could’ve planned day by day if I knew exactly what I had going on prior. Morocco and the entirety of the modesty in the country has shaped my view on how religion does have an impact on daily life. The whole city hears the mosque’s five prayers everyday, it’s a dedication to a lifestyle. In America, there’s not really a sense of unity that other countries have, it feels like every other place is close to their indigenous culture except the U.S. I’m glad I was in a beach city. At the very least it gave me some comfort in reminding me of Miami. A picture of me at the beach is very fitting for what this summer stands for, it was an experience and while I did work very hard and was alone and going through many changes in my life, I appreciated it all nonetheless.
As for the capstone, I’m not having a hard time with it, I’m not quite sure if I’m doing everything exactly the way it’s supposed to be done but I’m doing what I think would be expected. I have all my summer work regarding Connect on an on-going document. I’m still finishing some work for Connect but after it’s fully completed, I will be done with the final project.
