Many of my group members were scared of heights but while they were experiencing that, I noticed the community throughout the Blue Mountains. I saw people outside their homes. I noticed that their homes don&#8217;t look the way they do back home. By the looks of it, they built their own homes meaning they are independent, smart and hardworking. As we drove across the bumpy dirt roads I saw goats and other domestic animals. This made me want to appreciate the resources my community provides me.<\/p>\n<p>Before we met our home stay families and falling asleep, we checked in with each other as group. We wrote in our journals and I agreed to blog tonight. As we walked the dirt paths back to our home stay, we spoke to many people in the community and I felt welcomed. My first day in Jamaica set the tone for the rest of our trip and it made a great impression.<\/p>\n<p>Zhane S., SEED Public Charter School<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our experience traveling to our home stays was very interesting.
