I am writing about the last two weeks of our trip. What I would like to tell everyone about is the trip that the group took to Paris. We were all very excited to be getting to go to Paris as part of our trip. We took the train and that took about three hours…

Leaving the country for the very first time was such an experience. Just the plane rides alone were completely surreal. When I arrived to Grenoble, France I still could not believe that I was there. It is such a beautiful place. The mountain view from my hotel room was so humbling and peaceful. To start…

Going to a new country for the first time is an experience in itself. But visiting a hospital in another country, well that is an experience at a whole other level!

Student Voices 2012: ALEC
It’s hard to choose one specific thing to write about from the trip to France. While I was given just the first two weeks to choose from, the number of experiences jammed packed into a single day are enough to write 5+ pages about. With that being said, I decided to write about our weekend…
