Charlotte O Indiana University - Bloomington
"I gained a worldly perspective and now appreciate & am more concerned about many things more now than I did before. For example, I've realized how important caring for our earth is, and how big of a difference a single person can make. I've also become more humble, I think, which I saw from the majority of the people in New Zea..."

It's amazing how quickly your perspe..."

My gosh, YES it was worthwhile."

"I became very bi-cultural and really immersed myself in daily life in Jordan. I learned that life in the Middle East is completely normal and there are a lot of stereotypes and exaggerations from American media that truly need to be overcome in order to improve American-Arab relations. Arabs in Jordan were some of the friendli..."

It was really hard for me to adjust at first, but now I know that I have grown a lot as a person because of this experience. It was most worthwhile. Even if my Japanese didn't improve at all I have no regr..."
