A New Season #HogsAbroad

This week has been a very eventful one. There is a lot to be thankful for this season. I experienced my first thanksgiving away from my family, but as the day approached, came and went I found that the people I have surrounded myself with this term had become my family. We came to this incredible place some of us very far from home and everything we knew. We found each other and in the end we became this huge international family. 

 

We are from all different walks of life, but we each have something in common. We need each other to make the days a little brighter, and to make England feel like home. If there is one thing I am thankful for it is the people I have in my life, and the people I have met along this trip. My trip is coming to an end, and my heart is sad because I have to leave these beautiful people behind me. I know that I have made some of my best friends here and that is something I will always be thankful for.
