During my last week in china I couldn’t help but miss my family and be excited to see them.  This was my first time out of the country alone, and I was very proud of myself.  I felt so successful being able to come together with a group of unknown students, and maneuver my way around a different country with a totally different language.  I learned so much about myself, and this trip has made me much more open minded and more open to new foods.  A quality I never thought would change about myself.  I’m excited to go home and be with my family, I’m excited to have my privacy again and comfort that being in your own country provides you.  But at the same time I don’t want to leave China.  I’ve barely touched the surface of Chinese medicine.  There’s still so much to learn I wish I could stay longer.  How about my family just fly to china so my home is with me but I can still study in a different country?  Wouldn’t that just be perfect?  I’m sad to leave, but this wont be my last time in China.  I’m definitely coming back, and next time I’m bringing people who have never been before so that I can share my amazing experience with them.  Until next time China.
