“This trip has made me much more of a confident person. I loved bonding and being weird with everyone because I realized that I didn’t have to be anything but myself. Learning how to handle emergency medical situations and getting the opportunity to lead has been an amazing experience and I am so thankful to have gone on this trip.” Emily, high school alumna
