“I learned that I have more inner strength than I thought I had because when I was
hiking Machu Picchu, I was having a really hard time at the beginning and while some were resting I independently decided to hike the rest of the trail by myself and rely on myself.”
—Ruth M., Howard School of Technology, Visions Community Service to Peru
The following girls participated in the Explorations Senior Program at Yale University:
“The most exciting part had to be the people. There were almost 30 foreign students at Explo, while the rest represented every possible corner of the country.”
—Kari M., 21st Century Academy
“While participating in this summer program, I learned a valuable lesson. I realized that everyone was not the way I perceived him or her to be. I learned to cope with people who are different than me.”
—DuJuana E., Center for the Creative Arts
“In this program I experienced many new things that I would have never found at home. The one thing that was hard to do was leave. Departing from Yale’s campus was the hardest thing for everyone to do. There were so many tears that the streets of New Haven, CT were flooded.”
—Bleshette M., Howard School of Technology
