"Rwanda taught me to reconsider what is possible in terms of the human capacity for forgiveness. It was so inspiring to live among genocide survivors and perpetrators and see how they have been able to rebuild a cohesive society. That being said, I also was able to experience so many new things and grow in ways I didn't know I wo..."

The director and advisors of the program want you to feel like you have no control over the circumstances you are in if you do not agree with the way they are running things. It is important that as hardworking..."

Matthew C Northwestern University
"I learned how I best absorb languages, and now know that I need to travel more to keep working on my Arabic. I learned that I loved challenging myself to meet new people and go to new places, even if it was scary at first. I learned that while I won't always agree with everyone I meet socially, religiously, or politically, it is..."
