A Look Back

* What do you know now that you wish you knew before going on this program? I initially wanted to do London but USAC suggested Prague and I am so so happy I did what they suggested because it opened up literally a wonderful world of opportunities I wouldn't have experienced otherwise. And they were so helpful!
