“As parents, we naturally were concerned about sending our ‘little girl’ to a faraway place where she had no friends, no family, and no apparent safety net. As we continuously learned throughout the year, she quickly established lifelong friendships, rapidly assimilated herself into a local family, and found (and became for others) the safety net we had feared would be missing. And although she had always been engaged and engaging, she truly flourished during a transformative year living and studying abroad.”
