2 WHY TRAVEL? WHY I M PASSIONATE ABOUT TRAVEL WHY THIS TOUR IS GREAT FOR OUR GROUP HELP STUDENTS DEVELOP A GLOBAL PERSPECTIVE My favorite part during this trip was going to the 9/11 memorial because it made something click in my brain about the affects 9/11 had on the country. It definitely has a more significant meaning to me now than it ever did. Renna Boane CMS
