Some people would change their past if they had a chance. I definitely would not. Participating in VIEP presented wonderful opportunities to me. Learning a foreign language, traveling around Europe, and working in a foreign country are some of the "action" things that VIEP has given me. However, this is not all I got from VIEP. Living in a foreign country, away from friends and family, forces you to get to know the real you. I learned so much about my own limits and really grew as a person. All of these things will continue to help me in the years to come. I highly recommend VIEP to anyone!
