“When
I arrived in Costa Rica, I was somewhat anxious because
I did not know anyone and my Spanish was basic. By the
time I left (two months later), I was close to fluent
in Spanish and had met many new friends from several
different countries. I also felt welcomed into the ‘family’
at the school which includes its teachers, staff, students,
etc. All of the connections I made in Costa Rica have
had a lasting impact even to this day.”
