“Your greatest adventures and achievements occur

in the face of fear. Take the plunge and move to a different country, learn a new language, surround yourself with new people who bring new ideas and opinions to the table and let it change your life. It may seem scary, but it will transform you in the best ways possible. True knowledge really does come from experience.” — Maria Cumbe ’17
