"I feel I am
a different person now. I learned that I am certainly not who
I think I am when I am in the city. Appearances crumbled on this
trip, leaving just the transparency that the wilderness brings
out in everyone."
- Rodolfo Murillo (17), British School Costa Rica, OSA III 04
"[The OSA Program]
is a very neat experience that opens your eyes to a whole other
world full of adventure."
- Julie Burchett (16), Kentucky USA, OSA III 04
