What is gained from the experience of traveling abroad (China) cannot be summed up by a list of where you’ve been, what you saw, or the photos that you brought back. It’s about seeing yourself in a new light, what you’ve learned, what makes you more whole as a person, and what you realize you want to change. In a foreign country, it’s possible to discover aspects of oneself that develop into a lasting change. Since returning, I have found that I have an attitude of being more capable and more ready to take on challenges.
