Reverse culture shock

As with my experience in Argentina, coming home and re-experiencing the home culture is more difficult for me than the immersion in a completely new culture. Here I am, back at West Valley, approximately 30 students per class, predominately white,... the list goes on. It's hard to pinpoint specific lessons I learned while I was in Kiana, I think if anything I now have a clearer, more accurate, view of what rural Alaskan schools look like. I saw challenges, but I also saw genuine people. I got to know some of them, eat typical food, walk their streets. I guess I care more about rural Alaska, not that I didn't before, but it's personal now.
