“I had a great time in Australia. I met wonderful people and picked up some new skills at my internship. It was definitely an experience I will never forget. I was sad to leave behind the friends I've made when it was time to go home but I knew all of us shared something together that will never be forgotten. It was just awesome!” Shelly L.
