This has been a transformative experience for me, driven by a semester of growth, learning, and reflection. It has instilled a slew of skills, knowledge, and lessons, but something that stood out to me was the benefit of prioritizing reflection.

Farewell, GSL Bolivia!
As I wrap up my most difficult semester of college by far, I want to take a moment to reflect on one of the most meaningful experiences I’ve had in the past three years. The Global Service Learning course has been such a joy to be a part of, and I’m grateful for the opportunity…
Wrapping Up- GSL Bolivia
It’s pretty wild that we are at the end of this project. It seems like it was just yesterday that we were preparing for our on-site visit, and it is hard to believe how fast our time together has flown by. When we began this project at the start of this semester, I could never…

Throughout the semester, one area that I have grown a lot in is navigating unfamiliar situations. Before coming to Italy, I often…
