Life Changing Opportunity

This trip was was out of my comfort zone, but helped me develop in every way. I found that I was challenged everyday with new experiences, knowledge to process, and language to learn. With the "leader of the day" program, everyone acted as the leader with a partner for one day of the trip. I found this experience got me to speak up to the group, gaining confidence in my voice and finding who I am as a leader. Also being around such different people than me, not only the locals in the community we stayed in but my roommates and fellow students, taught me so much about who I am within my community and opened my eyes to experiences outside my own. I learned how to go about helping other people, and what I can do for those around me.
