Well it’s 11:20 pm and I’m just now going to get ready to jump on the plane, today actually wasn’t that bad I mean I waited here for 5 hours at Seatac airport and I just wandered around its actually not that bad here lots to do and wander to. I talked with everyone from home while I was here the whole time. Thought about my dad while I was here I’m just so excited to go home and see everyone, Marla (grandpas fiancรฉ) told me my little sister is trying hard to stay awake to see me when I get home. I also can’t wait to be in my own bed, I actually got emotional sitting here at the airport just the tiniest things can trigger so many memories geez. I ate Chinese food and drank a Coca Cola and that was my dads favorite pop that’s all he ever drank so that brought back memories of just sitting with him drinking a Coke or kool aid๐ I’m just ready to go home I’m excited to finally go home, I’m sorry I left I just wasn’t feeling it this year, maybe I’ll be back to visit sometime though. I just want to thank Pitzer so much for giving me these amazing friends I’ve made along my journey it has definitely been fun and life changing meeting people from all over and hopefully I can keep in touch with all of them. Miss you guys already but I just had to be at home and grieve here by an environment I’m use to and comfortable around, surrounded by family.๐ once again I want to thank pitzer for EVERYTHING they have done for me it was an amazing experience.! Thanks so much.๐ I’m also glad I had the opportunity to meet Pamela and see Saginaw before I left. Really loved those two! They’re real inspirations!!๐๐๐ฝ
Hi Makayla,
We will definitely miss you, but glad you made it home safely and are surround by loving family!
I too have special memories getting a coke in a glass bottle in little funky diners with my dad driving around in the country on the east coast. ๐ Funny how the little things are things we hold close. Love your selfies with all of your Pitzer friends – great photos! Please ask if you need any help with college apps or someone to read over an essay for feedback – happy to do it. And we are counting on you to stay in touch and let us know the great things you are up too. Thank you for being a part of the program and teaching us about Lummi culture! best always, Gina
