An Experience that Will Not Be Forgotten
by: Sherrye Hudson - United StatesProgram: Service Learning in GuatemalaIt is amazing to realize the things we take for granted because it is understood or so easily accessible to us, as American citizens, such as healthcare, hot water, safe water to drink, just flushing the commode is even a commodity if they are even lucky enough to have one.

Summer to Remember
by: Chloe Isbell - United StatesProgram: Global Citizen-Focused Learning in ItalyThis was the first trip to be held both in Europe and longer than 7 days.

What inspired you to travel abroad?
Rural youth collectively comprise twenty percent of public school students in the United States. Many are enrolled in Title I high schools, and if they attend college, are often the first generation to do so.

What inspired you to travel abroad?
