Amazing API

My travel abroad program with API was one of the best experiences (if not the best), that I have had thus far in my life. I not only made friendships that will last a lifetime but I got to know an entirely new culture, go on excursions, enhance my language skills, and learn how to handle difficult situations with a foreign country! While I was abroad, towards the end of my trip, I had an unfortunate encounter with a dog. I was attacked while walking home one night and bitten through my pants. The dogs bite broke through my skin and I was than required to have a series of rabies shots and visits to the nearest hospital. I was able to call my API director (onsite) even though it was late that night and she answered right away. She went with me to some of the hospital visits as well as my host family. My API director (Karla), made sure I was healthy, and she supported me through the entire process! She was fantastic. This is just one of the many instances where API truly came through, and made my experience the best it could be.
