Jane Beck, SAGE Team Member: Although when we first arrived in Abuja, Nigeria I was extremely paranoid and careful not to get bit by mosquitoes, the paranoia had disappeared by the second or third day. With so much going on, the week went by in a blink of an eye...
Visiting the Ushafa village and shopping were a couple of my favorite things we did in Nigeria, because we actually got to see and experience the everyday lives of many Nigerians. But as some Nigerians refused to allow us to take pictures and even got angry, I honestly felt guilty because I learned and once again truly felt that we are lucky to be living in a country like the U.S.
I think what made this trip so special and unforgettable is that the excitement, intensity, and the fun moments we shared in Nigeria helped us bond and grow together as a group.
Not only did we bring home the Third place title in the world, but also the experience, knowledge, and appreciation of other cultures as well as what we have, which we might have taken for granted. I'd like to thank everyone for their support and love!
