Adventure and shared experiences for the win

Living among a group of people for a year is an experience unmatched, and taught me so much about myself and my interactions with others. The staff encouraged me to leave my comfort zone behind and strive to find the parts of life that truly inspired me. I left with the skills and experiences necessary to be a happy, confident member of the world and for that I will always be grateful. I also learned so much about the world by traveling abroad and doing a homestay. I especially loved that we traveled by land instead of flying--that was so eye opening for me. If I ever had the chance to participate on a program like this again, or if I was asked if I would do it all again, I would say yes in a heart beat.
