Sicilian Spring Break Reflection

I loved Sicily. I loved having days without internet. I loved the opportunity to connect with the elements - light, water, and even the fire of Mt. Etna. I loved the opportunity to reconnect with the ancient world and remember that Classical literature is a window into our shared humanity. I loved that without being attached to devices, I was able to be fully present to the people around me. I went into the trip knowing that I was with a dream team of chaperones, but I had no idea just how impactful each of their unique magic is. I was allowed opportunities to share my gifts with the group. I was continually in awe of how thoughtful our students are - whether it's offering me sunglasses or a scarf or pulling tics out of a dog's ear, they consistently make the generous choice. What a special week!
