I feel like the best way to describe the 2019 PAs might be a group long distance relationships. It can be pretty tough to find a time for everyone to hop on a video chat between busy schedules and the time differences. With a little planning, a group of us were able to get together for a bit and catch up. It was so nice to see and hear from everyone. Minjae gave us updates on school and his military status. Tina is still going out and risking her safety for justice. Steph is wrapping up her time at UNI in a few weeks. Suleiman is focusing on his studies. Daria has started her last year of high school and seems to be quite the party animal of late. Vy just moved to  Vietnam today so she is getting ready to embark on a new journey. We shared some good stories, laughs and talked about potentially meeting up in the near future. I miss them all so much and I love hearing about how well they are doing in their country. Vy and Minjae will be at the BCPN next month and Minjae and I will be at the BCPM in May so hopefully we all get a chance to see each other soon!
