This has been an amazing, life-changing experience. I have loved every second of this trip, and hope that many other people get the experience just like I did. I have learned so many new things, and have overcome many different challenges, which I know will help me throughout college and in the future. I have learned many different life skills and believe this program is such an amazing opportunity that everyone should try.
