Notable Program Aspects
I arrived in California hoping to become more independent and to meet new people. Little did I know that I'd end up making such good friends and getting to know myself so well. The lessons I've learned are priceless and the experiences I had with everyone I met were enriching in a way I wasn't capable of imagining before I went.
