This was my first time on a plane and my first time
leaving the United States, however, it turned out to be
one of the best experiences of my life. I strongly

to find the opportunity to study abroad. Studying in
Ecuador was a turning point in my life, because it made
me realize that my opportunities are endless if I work
hard enough to achieve my goals. Linda
