What an amazing end to an amazing week at the school.  Starting last night, we began a full on sprint to the finish. We packed 140 bags filled with clothes, soap, food, and other toiletries. After a rather interesting dinner filled with uncontrollable laughs due to lack of sleep, we eventually cradled into bed.  Sleep didn't come to me for quite a while because all I could think about was the day to come, and how I didn't want it to.  We woke up at 6:15, and hastily stuffed tons of food and donations into our bus.  Everyone got a second wave of energy as we pulled through  the gates at the school. Things were rather hectic when we arrived because the kids were already there, and we were carrying tons of party décor through the school.  I was lucky this morning.  I was chosen to accompany Alex, the bus driver, and pick up families we had seen on previous home visits and take them to the school.  We drove around and picked up Milagro and Julisa, the two I visited yesterday, along with twins who both had CP named Franklin and Clara, and two others who's names I didn't have the opportunity to learn. It was awesome seeing all of these people I had previously visited actually be able to come to the school and get some much needed supplies.  Yesterday, I had zero respect for Milagro's mother. Today she realized there was hope for her daughter. I think that she found comfort in being around other parents of kids with disabilities. She realized she wasn't the only one.  Now Milagro will start Escuela Especial on Monday.  Milagro has a new life in front of her because of something we did. That right there was worth all the hard work and time we put into this trip.  The party itself was a huge hit. We all shared good food and great companying.  We passed out the bags we had previously packed for everyone.  I can't find words to explain the look on everyone's face when we handed them their bag.  After passing out the bags, it was time to say good-bye to the kids.  Seeing them go was of course sad, but I found hope.  All of those kids are amazingly brave, smart, and their spirits can't be matched.  They have taught me more than anyone else ever could.  I will never forget any of their smiling faces.  As the bus was pulling away, I rejoiced in the fact that I made a positive influence on all of their lives and I know my hard work wasn't for nothing. They will beat the world they are living in, I have no doubt in that at all.
