WorldStrides program:

East Coast History - Washington, D.C. and New York City

Places visited:

Washington, D.C., Gettysburg, and New York City

Favorite site:

My absolute favorite site was Central Park, because in the midst of the city was this gorgeous and huuuge park and I loved getting to walk all around in it and just see all the people.

Tell us about your Program Leader:

Mr.Bannister was a great leader.  He taught us everything we needed to know about each site but also made it fun for us too.

Favorite memory:

When the whole group was on the cruise boat we went on and we were all laughing and having a great time. It was so pretty on the boat.

Overall impression of the trip:

This trip was great and I’d definitely do it again.  This experience definitely changed me, because the side of the United States I got to see was far more different than where I live.  I got to see practically a whole different world, and I think that is good for all kids to see a different perspective of life besides what just waits in their hometowns.

Words of advice

These trips are once in a life time opportunities, and you have to have fun and learn on them.
