Looking Back

It's been 5 months since our return to our home in Georgia, and I wanted to write a blog post on the importance of the trip, and what it meant to me (Will). 

First of all, it was truly a great trip. I won't lie, I was pretty unhappy at the beginning of the trip about the entire idea. However, looking back at what I learned and what I was able to accomplish, I have a very different outlook on the idea now. It fueled my passion for filmmaking, which is now becoming a large part of my life. I wouldn't have had nearly as much progression with my filming at home than I did on the trip, and I am excited about continuing to get better. 

Secondly, the experiences that we had on the trip were fantastic. From a treacherous Jeep ride, to climbing a snowy mountain, I have memories now that will stick in my head for the rest of my life. I never would have dreamed that you could have that many great experiences in just one year. 

Lastly, I look at the United States in a totally different way now. It wasn't long ago that the country seemed so big compared to me (and physically speaking it is!), but I was able to realize that community doesn't mean the people who live near you. It means people coming around other people and helping them, and communing with them. 

I really enjoyed all of the trip, and continue to look back at it fondly. Thank you all for your support, and happy holidays!
