Yesterday was the last day of GSP. It is impossibly hard to write this article and do justice to the program that has forever changed my life in endless ways, and for that reason I have decided to dedicate this article to what my friends at GSP have taught me.

S- love can grow faster and stronger than you expect, but never stop it.

J- conversation is the key to compromise, and unless you can generate it chaos is inevitable.

K- sometimes laughter and smiles are for show, but others they are genuine. Cherish those moments that are real.

L- individual expression can be simple, yet impactful.

M- live the way you want and never change that.

N- smile more and sing more.

S2- forgiving is a lot easier than forgetting.

B- cry because you are so happy and not because you are so sad.

J2- be beautiful and be brave all at the same time.

K2- find grace in the silence and friends in the chaos.

Roommates:

M- be you and love others always and at the same time.

L- never stop working for what you want.

Mi- laugh, even when it’s hard.

Seminar- everyone is different and that is what makes life so great.

I am forever grateful for my summer at GSP. Thanks to all 355 scholars, every faculty member, all the office staff, and the administration for changing my life for the better and challenging me to be the best I can be. Even though GSP is over, I will forever remember what I learned from each of you. Thanks for a wonderful journey.
