During my junior year of high school I studied in Israel for a quarter. This was the single most important
experience of my life. I saw how diverse life is and how beautiful all of those differences are. In three months
my world expanded half way around the globe. I began to realize that there were millions of species I knew
nothing about. This idea is what draws me to Costa Rica. I would love to study the amazing diversity of life that
the rain forests offer and the communities that they support.
