What I wish was different
I wish it started earlier and ended a little later because I only spent 6 weeks with the kids.
Advice

What I wish was different
I wished that i was able to stay longer, i had a surgical procedure that didn't allow movement. I also worked during covid-19 times so didn't get the full experience and wasn't able to stay on site. It was still a very different but good experience.
Advice
Truly try you best to make that connection and give your effort, especially for the kids. It is a rewarding feeling when you know that you did the best you can to help.
