What I learned from Tennessee

What I learned from my trip going to Tennessee to see my cousins:

  1. How to fly by myself
    • Going through security
    • What to bring 
    • Where to go when there
  2. How to say yes to new experiences, like trying new foods
  3. How to understand family boundaries and that they are not intentionally trying to exclude me
  4. How not to be picky and be grateful for whatever is provided
  5. How to accommodate the whole group/family's wants
  6. That sometimes people need their alone time
  7. That family is always there for each other and is the most important
