Everyone arrived slightly worse for wear but happy! After every trip, we ask the students for their takeaways from the trip.
Efrim: I learned how to communicate with people using International Signs or Gestures.
Kieran: I learned that it’s very important to be open and to try new things while you travel, you never know what you will like, especially with food.
Angelique: Comparing Greece and the US, I think that Greece has many more historical places, and they have a lot of good healthy food compared to the US. The US has too much sugar in its food.
Julian: The Greeks had a lot of great inventions that they came up with many years ago which was cool.
Melinda: I learned how to use different kinds of transportation on this trip and how to get from one place to another place. I also learned how to navigate my way around town and different transportation stations.
Alex: Knowing that all cultures are different, and I had the opportunity to learn how to adapt to the ways of the Greeks and be respectful of their culture and not expect them to adapt to my usual ways that are done here in America.
Adrien: Bring backup shoes.
Jesus: I learned a lot on this trip. It was a new
experience for me to try new food, see historical places, and be part of a different culture. I also learned
that traveling requires a lot of walking to see different places and the time
difference also made me tired for the first few days.
