'There were a lot of good things that have happened on this trip: I have made new friends. Snorkeling was fun. It was my first time and it was amazing. The purpose was to learn and that was what I did. It was a great experience. I will never forget it and will try to con my parents into coming here again. The reserve is a beautiful place. I had a great time.'
