Today I really learned what solidarity is. It is being a friend and not a savior; working side by side to improve our world. It really hit me today that just because I am privileged, in every way possible, does not mean that I am better or above anyone, anywhere. Seeing the workplace, the market, and the school – seeing how they were all part of the global community – really changed my perspective. Today is the most meaningful day of my life because I have realized that I have come to love the people I have been alongside for the past few days so much that leaving them makes me really sad. But, leaving has also given me a purpose to come back!
