A strength that will help me do well on this journey to Israel is I love traveling in the states with my family and we enjoy seeing and visiting new places as well as trying new foods. This journey to Israel will be a once in a lifetime opportunity and experience for me as well as my first time traveling outside of the country. I am ready to take this journey to Israel because I want to learn more about how the different societies live among each other. I also want to challenge myself to be more independent as well as to make new friends outside of my comfort zone.
