Tall Ship Eagle
3/c Samantha Sworden  

Throughout my 3/c summer Eagle experience, I have come to know my classmates much better. I was put into a division with people I did not know well, and was forced to interact with them. Now many of the strangers in my class feel like life long friends, This summer has been great for making new friends and building previous ones.

Before this summer I have never been outside of the United States. Now I have been to Europe and soon Bermuda. This summer cruise has really opened my eyes to the world and the different customs that each country has. The language barrier and different foods made it hard to adjust; now I understand how it feels to come to America as a foreigner. Eagle has offered me amazing opportunities to see and experience the world.
