Great time on ARCC

My ARCC trip pushed me out of my
Comfort zone and helped me become even more of a leader. I was able to meet so many amazing local people and listen to all of their stories and learn about Hawaii’s history through them. Although my group was very small we all got along really well and had a lot of fun. It is a once in a lifetime opportunity to be able to travel with less pressure before going to college or figuring out what you want to do. I saw things I never thought I would see — lava, a shark while scuba diving, manta ray snorkel — and I became more confident in myself and my ability to lead and interact with people. Both of my leaders were super inspiring and blended in well with the group. My curiosity and joy of learning were heightened and I am so glad I was able to have this experience and travel before going to college in the Spring. I definitely recommend for anyone taking a full gap year or just a gal semester! A life-changing experience that I will never forget.
