Reason Why You Decided to Apply
Honestly? I needed a wake-up call. I was too shy, too quiet, and too scared to try new things. The SECOND Program felt like the perfect mix of challenge and excitement. I wanted to explore new countries, understand new cultures, and most of all, prove to myself that I could do something big. Spoiler: I did!
How the Program Helped You Grow
I gained the courage to speak up, the skills to work in a team, and the ability to connect even when language failed. These are not just travel memories, they’re tools I now use in classes, group work, and even my part-time job. This program turned my “what if I fail?” into “what if I fly?”
Message for Students Interested in The Program
You don’t need to be “ready” - I wasn’t. You just need to be curious. If you’re waiting for a sign to do something bold, this is it. Join the SECOND Program. You won’t just visit a country. You’ll visit a version of yourself you didn’t know existed.
