The day of August 23, 2012 (6:09 PM)
As great as this experience may seem, I know this has to be
the most courageous thing I have ever done. Going to Korea wasn't something
that frightened me, until I got there and knew I wasn't in America anymore. But
this is something completely different. When the boat sailed off, I knew the
next time I would see land was in 8 days.

Coming into this new community puts you in an awkward
position, and as an SAS student you have no choice but to interact with others.
It's a part of what, we as students are here for. Getting away from the social
networking part of life and interacting with one another on a day-to-day basis.
No Facebook, no Twitter, no Instragram. Most people in today's society would
say this is impossible for our youth to even think about. Then there are those
who believe our youth just need this kind of challenge. Whatever the case may
be, I'm taking on the challenge. The most significant thing I learned today was
that 6% of people in the world today have college degrees. SIX PERCENT!
Just to think that I will be a part of that percentage one
day and have a semester visiting four continents is just phenomenal to me.
This could also be phenomenal for you, too!
The world is a huge book & those who don't travel to see
it only stay on one page.
