People to People 2015: Reflections and Experience

                   In the previous school year, I was selected to participate in a program called People to People. People to People is an ambassador program started many years ago. Basically, it takes a group of children all over the USA to a foreign country or countries. My adventure was entitled "Tale of Two Cities," so I went to England and France for about two weeks. It was truly an amazing experience and I got to do things people would only dream of doing, and am extremely grateful for my trip. First of all, I got to meet a lot of new different people and also be exposed to cultures around the world. This traveling experience boosted my independence as well as confidence.  Over time, we all got to make new friends and get to know each other very well. Some of the things I did included:

• visit the Palace of Versailles
• go to Disneyland Paris
• climb to the top of the Eiffel Tower
• visit the English cathedral with the tallest spire and oldest working clock in the world
• go through a rafting challenge and mud obstacle course
• view a theater production in England called "The Railway Children"
• travel on the London Eye
• meet with a former MP(member of Parliament)

These are only some of the amazing places I went to. I jotted everything that happened each day of the drip to keep as a memoir. I might post one of my more interesting journal entries on this blog in the future. Overall, this was one of the most pivotal experiences of my life.

(I will try to post some pictures in my future post.)
