Students who have worked with me before may have heard me say a time or two “people remember beginnings and endings.” What I mean is how we reflect back on an experience often is colored by the way the experience started, and what we felt about the ending. As we are closing down campus for the summer there are many endings in the air.
This whole experience, as I’m describing it probably sounds cheesy and cliché, but I simply have no words to describe what I saw. While the actual process itself was much more grotesque than I first thought, the experience of watching a birth and feeling the emotions run through me, was the most beautiful thing I had ever experienced or witnessed in my entire life.
I remember when I first started learning how to wash dishes. Much to my dismay, I broke a glass and soap went everywhere! Later on in life, in my first year of General Chemistry, I definitely broke more glass than I would like to admit.
Like two pieces of floating wood when we first arrived in India, we tied ourselves together and turned headlong into the open and unknown seas. As our main sail caught the wind, together we picked up speed and stability as we navigated the uncharted waters. Together we learned how to safely cross an Indian street, which eventually lead to learning how to safely jump on and off a moving bus.
