“Spending time in South Africa provided me with another way to view the world. I think that I am much more open-minded now. My time abroad also taught me a lot about being independent. I traveled by myself for the first time and it was such an eye-opening experience. It gave me a lot of confidence in myself that I didn’t necessarily have before.”
