Today is the last day for me to be in Rome.  I want to take this time to thank Matt and all the fellow classmates for a fantastic summer.  I came to Rome to learn and experience something amazing, and I did just that.  I have become a better person and an improved sketcher, as well as becoming better educated in culture, history, and Architecture.  This trip does change lives and makes a positive difference for many.  I would recommend to everyone, if giving the chance, to take this opportunity to study and live in another country.
I hope this will not be my last time here and that I get the chance to travel more in all the years to come.  I will miss Rome and all the friends I made but I am so happy and grateful for the experience.

Ciao ciao,

Justin

P.S. On another note, I want to say that I also had an amazing time getting to travel around to such places as Florence.
