Having this tour and a speaker that talk to us about all these different opportunities and how all these people came to such big success actually allowed me to see what my future path in this career could be, which is very inspiring for me.
The trip made me think about my future and who I'm going to become, and I hope to be successful, go to a good college, and get good grades at school.
I think that I'm really lucky that I had an opportunity to get here, and there are a lot of new things that I found out.
