Hi again everyone! My name is Sydney and I have absolutely loved my time at SSP so far. Everyone here is so nice and super intelligent. Everybody seems to have made a home for themselves here that none of us want to leave. This week being our last has definitely been a sore subject for everyone over the past few days. Despite this, I am so grateful for my time here and am excited to get home despite the sadness associated with leaving SSP.
Today was a super fun day as we got to go on a field trip to the National Aquarium in Baltimore! I absolutely loved every moment of the trip, but it was bitter-sweet as it was our last field trip of the program. Despite this, and the fact that it did take a while to get there, it was definitely a good way to finish with our field trips. The aquarium itself was absolutely incredible. We saw so many cool things including dolphins, sharks, a rainforest section with frogs and birds, eels, and jellyfish. We even got to see an archer fish feeding and dolphin training session! The aquarium was absolutely gorgeous, and everyone had a great time there!
I know I have already mentioned it, but I truly feel like everyone has found their place at SSP. It will be so sad to say goodbye to everyone in a week. I literally feel like I have known these people for my entire life. I cannot imagine leaving and I know everyone will cry next Wednesday. I know we will all keep in touch as this program has truly changed all of our lives.
Best wishes to everyone and everyone at SSP.
Sydney <3
