We started off leaving mid-day on Wednesday and after a missed connection and a series of delays, we found ourselves arriving in Tampa nearly 7 hours behind schedule! Tired, hungry, and ready for the upcoming days, we immediately crashed upon arrival at the hotel.
The following days were jam-packed with various activities that forced us to question the system, opened our eyes to varying perspectives, and allowed us to connect with students from around the world. Even though the days began at 7 AM and ended at 11 PM, I found myself learning in an unparalleled environment of peers that were equally passionate about solving issues of social injustice. Overall, I learned so much from SDLC, and I was truly inspired by my exceptional peers. I can't wait to show the Saints community all I've learned!
