This was the night where we talked about the trip. We had cook out at my parents house and ate their last Costa Rican dinner. From what I gathered it was a huge success. I mentioned to the kids this evening how blessed they were to have Mrs. Randell who is a teacher so full of life that is always seeing the positive side of everything. Just a great person to be around and very enjoyable for myself and our team. It was good to see Mrs. Randells fun personality rub off on the kids as the whole trip was laughter from start to finish. A big thanks to Marisabel also for coming down and being an excellent addition to the team. I am going to miss these kids and it was great having visitors from so close to home. I have lived in Costa Rica for almost 9 years but before that I was raised in Ocala and went to a small private school. Oak Hall use to crush my middle school team in basketball so it was fun to start a different relationship with Oak Hall that I hope last for years to come. Your kids are great as we had a flawless trip, very respectful, and everyone got along with everyone. This says a lot about Oak Hall as a school and the education the kids are getting.
I feel priviledged to have had a small part in these students education and I hope the things they learned during their stay from talks about recycling, walks through the rainforest, and even the part when they were sweating and about killing me on the hike to the cave which I hope can be used to face challenges along that way and realize that the road is not always easy but dont give up because it is all worth it in the end. Again another huge thanks to you parents without you guys we would not have jobs or the chance to show off this amazing country. We hope to see all you parents down here and enjoy the Costa Rica ziplines with us soon. Have a great evening and PURA VIDA!!!
