"This experience was incredibly valuable to me, both personally and professionally. I came into it with an open heart and an open mind, and soaked in all that the opportunity had to offer. I built lasting relationships and learned things that will affect my future practice as a professional nurse, including maintaining a positive attitude, showing dedication, and being grateful for the things we have in the United States" (Margaret, Belize 2017).
