What I liked
I enjoyed bonding with the kids and being in their company. They truly are some of the most special people on the planet! I learned how to enjoy the life I have been given and find joy in some of the simplest of things. Each of their personalities shined when I got to know them on a personal level. They lit up the world and made the work seem like a fun ride.
What I wish was different
I did wish there had been more freedom and time away from the entire team. There were times where we were stifled as a group because of a lack of mobility and independence.
Advice
Be ready to love with all you have - the kids, your teammates, and yourself. If you're not at a stable time in your life where you're ready to sacrifice on behalf of the vulnerable, your time might feel wasted.
