Since returning home to Atlanta, GA from Romania, I’ve found it very difficult to adequately describe my experience abroad. If asked a specific question about something that I did or saw, I can go on and on, but when someone asks, “How was Romania?!” I am almost at a loss for words. I did so…

Part of the work we did in Romania was working with Dannon dairy farms. The visits were very similar to each other, as well as my thoughts. I was sharing these with a fellow student at the first farm. She was telling me that she realizes why America is seen as the saving grace for…
