5. Featured Article - Spain Insane
I went to Appleton, Wisconsin for a whole year as a high school exchange student for a gap year and it has been four years since then and I can still say that I am a much better person because of it. I gained life lessons that have helped me throughout college and I know will help me in the future. That experience also helped me be a good team leader or an "ate" to the other girls who have never been away for so long before. I was also proof and a sp okesperson to the parents in letting them know that they were making the right choice in letting go of their kids - even for a little while - so they can experience the world on their own.
