Today was our closing day!! The last task of the interns was to do our final presentations!
The presentations took place at the same place where we oriented, the law school. The day started out with a brief summary of what we will be presenting by Sally and then breakfast. After breakfast we began with our individual presentations.
For our individual presentations we gave information about ourselves, our home, and the agricultural information of there. It was really interesting learning about each others islands. It wasnt until now that we learned and shared so much on our different islands. Everyone had some very interesting information and we all learned so much. We also told of what our worst and best experiences on our trip and it was really funny hearing all the different thoughts! After the individual presentations we took a quick break and had our group shot taken by one of the universities press photographers.
After a short break we continued with our group presentations. For the group presentation we were required to give a brief description and our thoughts on each of the activities from day one to the end. We all were given a week to talk about and we all told of what we learned on each visit. For our conclusion our group decided to have an open forum in which each intern shared their thoughts about the trip and their final thank you's. We all ended by giving a big thanks to all the organizers and proctors. This concluded our presentations.
After the presentations the proctors and organizers gave their last words on the trip. They all shared how happy they were with the success of the trip and that they hope we will take what we learned hear back home to teach others. After final thanks we ended by doing a quick survey on the program and lastly we were each awarded a certificate of completion. Once that was done we said our final goodbyes to the Sally and Angel and concluded the days presentations and final scheduled activity!
With that done we headed back home to do laundry and then we got ready to go out to town to visit the Mango festival which was taking place downtown. This was our last night in town and we all had a great time. We were treated to local food and beverages and were also able to browse some of the artwork and crafts from the local artist and vendors. The night concluded with some excellent Puerto Rican music. The performance was packed with energy and it really was a great way to conclude the night. After that we left for home to pack and get ready for tomorrow.
We all leave for San Juan tomorrow morning to the airport where we will all say goodbye to eachother and go our seperate ways. Im really sad that we will be leaving Puerto Rico but Im also ready to head back home! Im really gonna miss everyone!!
