Review for Operation Understanding DC, Washington, DC, USA
I was a member of Class 11 and still can remember all of the things that were instilled in me as we spent our year together. The program offers a wonderful, unbiased view of the histories of both groups and gave us a collective knowledge that we could all draw from as we went on our journey. The journey, our month-long tour of the Civil Rights Movement, made quite an impact on me, and I remember coming back from the trip inspired, and with a burning desire to help others and be open to all cultures. Living my life in a positive way, encouraged to engage in dialogues with people of all cultures, and being able to understand things in new ways have all contributed to where I am today, and I look forward to passing along the lessons and values I learned and gained in this program as I graduate from college.
