Selected thoughts from student journals


"I realized that before this trip I was only looking at 1/4 of the world."

“In such a beautiful world, there can be so much chaos and trash; in such a trashy world, there can be so much beauty"

 

“While sitting at a table in the café, we were discussing what made art, art.”

 
“So this whole trip has really started to make me think deeper about my life and what I want for it.  I guess . . . I had to get out
of my culture to be an outsider looking in.  I had to be away from home to see what other experiences are out there for me.  Before this trip, I pretty much had my entire future planned which now looking in on that is really scary because I’m only 20 and the possibilities are endless.”

“It’s amazing how a random group of people can come to a place like this and build such relationships with each other.”
