As my last day starts, I want to thank the ENTIRE Davenport, Moline, Peoria, Galesburg and Monmouth communities for welcoming me with open arms to do my summer internship with Southwestern Advantage. Being from the Caribbean and exploring new places has been such a dream come true, even if it’s only been two states. I’m eternally grateful for all the families I’ve met, all the people I know I’ll have in my life as it continues, all the moms I know I can call on if I need help. I’m so grateful for every single person I’ve met. I’m blessed and truly thankful to all the families I’ve been able to serve this summer, whether it’s with education or just me chatting their ears off or them just talking.
I’m also so very thankful for my host families and all they’ve done for me. I’m blessed to have amazing roommates and a roof over my head during my stay.
Thank you guys for such an amazing summer!!
