“Rome, Italy. I enrolled in Roman Archaeology 101. The program lasted 34 days. Extracurricular activities that I took part in included work with refugees from the Middle East and excursions to various cities. One of my favorite memories was arriving in Sorrento. I have never been to a place more beautiful. It was a culturally rich city nestled into a mountainside overlooking the sea. This was absolutely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity; an experience I will be talking about for decades to come. It was completely out of my comfort zone but also one of the most rewarding experiences of my life.” 130
