A trip that I will always cherish Past Review
By Laurel Stringer (Millsaps College) - abroad from 05/13/2019 to 05/26/2019 with
Millsaps Summer Program 2019
The world is huge. I realized I want a job that allows me to travel. I switched from pre-dental to pre-pilot. It was definitely a life-changing trip. I can't wait to go back.
