I loved being able to bond with my staff and with the students who came to Light the World. It was truly a beautiful experience to witness growth in all of those involved with the program.
What I wish was different
I don't think I could have changed anything about this experience!
Advice
My biggest piece of advice would be to enter into this experience with an open heart and mind. It is a tough job physically and spiritually, but it was all worth it in the end.

I wish our events had been in person.
Advice
Look for experiences that are invested in your development as well. Each week I had to read development articles and learn a new skill!
