Costa Rica Pura VidaThe trip to Costa Rica definitely made me more culturally aware. It helped everyone realize some of the stereotypes we may have about others. We were able to let go of these preconceptions and really experience other cultures for ourselves. |

The Trip Of A Lifetime! :)My experience abrad impacted my cultural awareness becuase I was able to make connections between the Costa Rican Culture and my culture.

Costa Rica, Pura Vida, The Trip Of A LifetimeThis was really the best trip for me personally because I really am looking at teaching in more of an inner city setting. I think I now have more of an understanding and empathy for the parents of the children that I serve; I also think I understand more of their mindsets and backgrounds. I always thought that I had an open mind... |

Purda Vida Costa RicaThis trip was so amazing. It prepared me for if I have students who are ESL. I also became more independent and enriched in a culture that I was clueless about before the trip. |

A Cultural Experience Of A LifetimeI learned how a different part of the world lives by living with them. I am now more appricative for what I have and have developed a new understanding of what it is like to be new to a country and not know about the language and culture that I will remember in my own classroom in the future. |

Costa Rica: Always LearningTraveling to Costa Rica and being completely immersed in their culture really allowed all of the students to see how difficult it is for students to come into our classrooms in America. I learned so much, not only about Latin American culture, but also about how to create a diverse classroom. I learned more about myself and my a... |

We have talked about it many times in classes and played out many senarios, but to actually put myself in... |
