My trip to Myanmar was truly outstanding. Not only did I learn more about our global community by immersing myself in this different culture, but I also developed lifelong relationships with students and Rustic staff from across the globe.

All three of my Rustic experiences played a direct role in shaping my path. I loved every second of those experiences and came out of them with a profound and deeper understanding of the world and its issues surrounding it.

Rustic has impacted my life in a big way...From all three of my programs, I learned that there are always going to be challenges and obstacles to reaching a goal when collaborating with others. But I have learned valuable skills from this that have helped me excel in both high school and college.
