It's hard to believe that in just 30 days, I'll be leaving this place behind and heading back to the States. The past year has been a wild ride, filled with ups and downs, triumphs and challenges. As I count down the days until redeployment, I'm feeling a mix of emotions - excitement, relief, and a hint of sadness. In this post, I'll share some of my thoughts and reflections on the past year, and what I'm looking forward to in the days ahead.
