LaShai Brown, 16.
I want to go to Costa Rica because I really like to help people. I also thought this would be a nice trip because it would be my first time out of the country and because Costa Rica is a pretty place. The students who went on the trip last year said it was a "life changing" experience and I want to see how I will change after this trip. I know I will gain a lot of things from this trip but I also hope I will lose several things too, such as my fears of heights. What I think I can bring to this trip.....I am a very helpful and easy to talk to and also that I know a little Spanish.

A Note to City High Students from Values in World Thought Founder Ward Mailliard
Dear Students,
Congratulations on your fabulous journey. Everything I have seen on the blog makes me so proud of the way you have engaged in a new and at times challenging situation. As someone who takes these kinds of journeys with students I know how much you all did to make the trip a success. Now that you are in the return phase, take the time to savor your accomplishments and talk to each other and your community. You are not the same but people may see you the same. You hold good medicine for your community and for your life. Thanks for sharing your journey with us. Your writing was superb and there is absolutely nothing I could think of to improve on. You guys hit it out of the park.
With much affection to you all,
Ward Mailliard

His innovative ideas and programs continue to inspire our work with the International Service Learning Program at City High.
