Overall, this course was exactly what I needed. I finished my high school career with very little motivation to keep going, I didn't see the point of college, I had no reason to keep torturing myself through traditional academics because in short, I hated it. I felt isolated and disconnected from true reality. I needed to get away, I needed to change my point of view, and I needed to give myself worth and reason to keep going forward. This trip gave me all of that. I'm back in school now, and I know that without the experiences I had accumulated last year, this would be too meaningless for me. Now I have goals and drive and new ways of looking at things that many college students aren't even close to realizing. It makes academics much more meaningful and worth-while. The highlight of my trip was definitely my instructors. They are some of the most intelligent teachers I have had, and will ever have because they didn't sit me down and try to teach me, they gave me the love and materials needed for me to find my lessons everywhere we went and in everything we did. The trip had just enough movement that I never felt stagnant. Then for my second semester, I went on their spring extension program with one instructor and three other friends from my first semester trip. Last year was the best year of my life, and choosing dragons was the smartest decision I could've made. Academics: This semester was focused on the politics, economics, and cultures of each place we visited. Our three instructors ran lessons and they were all incredibly brilliant and brought unique points of view to everything we discussed and they thrived on student's opinions. But I never felt like I was in school. In the end, I was my own teacher and this semester was all my own. You get out of it what you want. Living Situation: Much of the time this trip was rugged travel. That means few 'real' showers, toilets, electricity, etc. But if you are looking for an experience that is life changing and will make you view your own living situation in a new way, rugged is what you want. Cultural Immersion: Perfect. Just perfect. Program Administration: Unbelievable instructors and really great communication with the office. The yakyak boards, our own little blog, was such a fun way to communicate to people back home without having to directly contact them.
