Brentwood College Students from a Jacaranda trip
Based on the question: What would you tell someone who was considering participating in this trip?
Do it! Prepare for it to be intense, but incredibly challenging to the way you think or are as a person.
Student #4
I would say that the world beyond your home, the world beyond your life is a big and unknown place. On this trip you will see and experience things that may be shocking and hard, but you must use acceptance, compassion and kindness with that world beyond, because we are all humans; we are all equal and factors such as money, race and location do not matter when it comes to love. Use the sad feelings about what you see and let them drive your forward!
Student #1
It’s worth it. It¹s worth the travelling, the nerves, the bugs and everything. The experience was priceless and life-altering.
Student #2
This trip was extremely worth it and life-changing. If I had not gone on this trip I would have likely not experienced that sort of work and setting. Simply, I would say, Go!
