Before I Leave

The following post was written by Bridge Year Fellow, Rhenna Hatton. It feels surreal to sit down and write this. Although I'm sure I'm in the same place as many gap year fellows before me; sitting in an airport, not sure what I just got myself into. It's weird to think I'll be gone for […]
