Reflection These two years have been the most incredible years of my life. I have met amazing people and the best team. In the beginning, of my freshman year, when CWS told me “your working at University of ST. Thomas”, I wasn’t to sure because I basically going to another school to work and I was already working at Cristo Rey. But I'm glad I got the opportunity to work at UST because its like an adventure; I meet people everyday, its helping me get ready for the real world. I have learn a ton and I'm grateful for that experiences. Working at UST got me planning what I want to do with my life after college. I want to go to college study aboard and finish my degree, but also travel that world. That’s my main goal in life and I'm going to make it happen but little steps at a time. I find the world so magical, sometimes it makes me emotional that its so beautiful. I Find the world so fascinating because its full of history and adventure. Just imagine exploring it and traveling to new places, meeting new people, learning new cultures, and the best part is learning people’s stories. “OF ALL BOOKS IN THE WORLD, THE BEST STORIES ARE FOUND BETWEEN THE PAGES OF A PASSPORT.”-anonymous
