"My time in Mexico was an unforgettable experience that has forever influenced my life.  Besides the obvious growth in my linguistic command of Spanish and knowledge of Latino culture, this experience also was the catalyst for personal growth and poise that only comes from travel abroad and being placed in an entirely different atmosphere from one's home environment.  The time I spent in Cuernavaca was entirely worth it in every possible way--academic and personal."  -- Paige Addison Class of '08

"Working at Agua Viva for the summer was an intense experience. I worked harder than I ever have before and I developed deep relationships that have extended beyond my two months in Mexico. Learning how to adapt culturally to a group of people different than my own and seeing first hand how God is working overseas challenged and changed me in ways I never would have expected." -- Liz Hopkins, Class of '09
