My term with The Modern Story has come to an all-too soon close.  My writing can’t  really sufficiently sum up the experience in one blog entry. Yes, the reverse culture shock came through, Chicago now seems quiet and calm!  One conclusion I can immediately draw is that I am not finished with India.  Saying goodbye to the students at APRS and at Vijaynagar Colony was bittersweet because I really don’t know when I will get the chance to work with them or see them again.  Most of the students don’t get to the internet very often, so we exchanged snail mail addresses and phone numbers, through which we will hopefully be able to stay in touch, but I hope to find a way to get myself back to India to revisit the students and continue learning about and exploring the country.

The Modern Story is a program that I hope can continue to grow and continue to collaborate with schools and students in Hyderabad.  Many thanks to Piya and Remy for their guidance and support through the program, I’m sure I’ll be sticking around to help with the program’s further development in the future.
