I packed my bags and said goodbye to Guatemala the moment I graduated high school, never thinking I would ever want to come back. Maybe it was the political atmosphere, maybe it was the hypocrisy I was surrounded by while in school, or maybe it was the fact that what I wanted in life would not be found in Guatemala.
