Costa Rican Experience

On this day is the day that we depart back to United States Of America. Am I excited ? Maybe just a little bit, but apart of me wants to stay here right here in Costa Rica to explore more. My highlight of the trip to Costa Rica was meeting and conducting research on Water midges with Dr. Carlos De La Rosa. He was awesome it's refreshing to see a person that has years of experience become excited when a student or younger person is interested in their studies. The bonus was that he didn't mind speaking to us and and also taking time out of his day to let us assist him in some of his research. While we were I La Selva I spoke to Dr. De La Rosa about Roger's and my mini research project on the howler monkeys. Now Dr. De La Rosa is willing to send us some information and videos on the howler monkeys so that we can continue the research in the United States. This study abroad program has given me a chance to connect with other individuals that I have never spoken to before. In the First couple of days everybody became comfortable with one another and that was when Steve said " We Are All Family ". This experience will forever be unforgettable and I hope that next year I will be able to travel abroad with satellite academy for a another fun filled, action packed educational experience exploring the world to better ourselves.
