changed my life in ways I didn't know travel could.

The fact that I had never travelled so far with no one I knew before was one of the most anxiety-provoking and daunting thing I had experienced before this trip. But from as early as day2, I had never felt more at home in my life. My group soon felt like family which made day 35 incredibly difficult. I learned so much, not only from the assigned literature and curriculum but from becoming educated in context of our very fractured and frenetic world. throughout the trip I noticed my confidence dramatically increase, my writing becoming more clear, concise, and eloquent, and most importantly, my worldview significantly broaden. my perspective on the world and education has changed in ways that 750 characters would never allow me to express :)
