Participants Love It

My trip to Ireland this summer was even better than I imagined it would be. I will admit that I was extremely nervous before leaving home, but the counselors and other students were so warm and friendly that I was barely homesick at all. By the end of the trip, we had all bonded so much that no one wanted to leave. My 22 friends and I were new family members. We were instantly immersed in Irish culture, history, and landscapes within the first day of arriving. The things that I learned and saw on this trip will stay with me for many years to come. I wouldn’t take back a second of it, and now I wish I could just go back. It was such a great growing experience for me; I came back home feeling so much more confident and independent. It gave me such a great appreciation for another culture other than my own and allowed me to see how other people live day by day. It was really eye-opening and I made memories that I will remember forever.
