I gained confidence and independence
by: Charlette ClellandProgram: Costa Rica High School Summer Program | Pacific DiscoveryI think I did grow from this program and met a new version of myself. I feel I gained confidence and independence. I would tell my pre-program self to come into this with a strong mindset and trust the process.
