February 05, 2020 The Coolest Thing I've Ever Done

I got to dive into environmental communication (the field I want to pursue after college); SEA's leadership education is spectacular; and I learned how to sail. Nothing compares to climbing out on the bow while we're crashing up and down on eight-foot waves. A student - Middlebury College
