the capstone

The presentations are over! And now it's time to head back to sweet Hotel Hilð for our last night in Iceland.  

It's bittersweet.  Bitter that the trip is so short and that we have to all say goodbye tomorrow, but sweet that in such a short period of time we were all able to forge such special friendships.


I will never forget these few days in this unique little country with this amazing group.  I learned so much from everyone.  Tonight we will stay up together far too late one last time.  We will play silly games and dance in the lobby and maybe go out to the hot tub when the sun rises at 2:30am.  We will already say "remember that time when"even though that time was only two days ago.  We will make plans to see each other again, to bring the GREEN team back together.  But most importantly we will all feel grateful for this opportunity to meet like-minded peers and mentors--an opportunity from which we can derive hope and inspiration for our futures as we move forward into the future.  We will learn not to see where the future can take us, but rather to see where we can take the future.  This, I believe, is the true capstone of the trip. 


A little piece of all our hearts will be in Iceland forever. <3
