At first when we arriived to the camp, I was sort of nervous and afraid to speak to the Mexican students. Most of the American students weren't very talkative with the Mexican students. At the dinner table, we introduced ourselves and tried to speak the language, but it was still very difficult. I think the main problem was that the students were afraid to say something wrong or stupid to the Mexican students, but they helped us by making us feel comfortable around them. By the end of the retreat, everybody was very close and friendly. When we had to leave, most people were upset because they didn't want to leave without the Mexican students. When we left, it sort of felt like it was the end of the trip, because we have already accomplished so much, but it is just getting started.
