s01 | e04 Determined to Rise

Four students that traveled to Thailand, India, and Guatemala this year, Daniela Baltag, Suley Vazquez, Grace Howard, and Tia Joseph, discuss the different ways in which they rose stronger than before.

Whether it's Daniela discovering how to slow down in Thailand, Suley fearing she might never walk again, Grace almost allowing herself to be eaten by wild animals, or Tia standing up for herself poetically, their determination is inspirational. Perhaps like us, you find yourself asking, "What is my potential?" and hopefully, desire to rise to the occasion.

Even though she says only she and her mom enjoy it, we’re pretty certain you will too!
