Meet Taija D.

"Leaving the country for the first time was extremely nerve-wracking. But through the program, I have met people that I will never forget. I gained a motivation I was lacking prior. I also went outside of my bubble and made the first move to create friendships. I loved how I was able to improve to be a different version of myself."
