“For me, it was a “one in a lifetime experience” it was empowering to be amongst those who are going through similar issues and struggles, the activities I went through helped me understand more about myself and my culture. It was nice to form friendships that I can count on and know that they "know" what I am going through and experiencing.”
“I learned from others in my shoes how to manage the stress involved with being a student of color, as well as learned that I have a community. Learning that others are there for you in such a bonded way could never be taught in a classroom.”
