- My GSE adventure is drawing to a close (sadness and thinking of the many memories)
- I am heading home in a couple of days (excitement)
- Concern for the excess luggage I am going to have to pay for (....door mat)
- Not wanting to miss the alarm for our early morning drive to the airport
- Backing up 7200 photos onto my Ipod.
Its hard to put into words what the last 4 weeks have been like. From our blogs, photos, sms, postcards and emails I am sure that you all have a sense of the fun, variety of vocational visits, people we have met, places we have seen, the food we have eaten (Cant wait to get back to fitness classes), the support and friendship shown by everyone we have met.
For me the key parts of my GSE adventure have been:
- The support I have received from home
- The warmth and friendship of every Rotary club, every Rotarian & their partners
- The way in which we were hosted by every club, every host family and the various vocational visits that were arranged for us.
- Being able to reflect upon my skills, knowledge and abilities in my current role and in any role or position that I will have in the future. It has given me my confidence back in knowing that I am a very capable individual and will succeed now and into the future.
- Sharing this experience with David (who is now one of the girls), Amanda and Robyn - I was lucky to share this with you all. Thank you for your support, laughter, red bull and snorts.
A big thank you to the Penrith Valley Rotary Club for sponsoring me and in particular Linda Rios and Graeme Wilson for encouraging me to apply. I look forward to attending a meeting to share with you my exchange.
Love to all
Teresa
