Dear Global Education Office:
They told us we'd be visiting the spiny desert (keyword: desert). But that evening, after a hot, cloudless day, we saw storm clouds gather in the distance. We heard the thunder drums rolling in as the night progressed. And then, rain. Glorious rain.

Dear Global Education Office:
I have grown a lot in the past month and a half. I can honestly say that I pushed myself very far out of my comfort zone and was surprised to find that I was not only perfectly okay, but glad to be outside of it. For…
