I didn’t know what it meant to live a good life. I didn’t even know what that concept meant nor ever actually considered it until a few years ago but I have been making choices for a decade that lead to me living for now my life for the better.

2015 Travel Cornerstone

I was fortunate like many who live in the western world to have the opportunity in their teenage years to travel with the support of their school. I was no different. Saving up my pocket money and making the decision to delay the gratification of a killer python candy or an ice cream after a hot day to get to the point where I could afford travel.

My high school offered me and 12 others along with a few staff the opportunity to travel to South Korea in 2015 after two years of learning the language in school. I was once a complete beginner and like all activities that require mastery my fellow classmates and I toiled away to develop our language skills to the point where we would gain admittance into the overseas tour group.
