Coming over to America for the first time, having grown up observing it from Ireland, I was eager to get involved in something that would allow me to explore American culture and politics at a deeper level than I had seen in the media. I am so lucky to have found this program which has allowed me to do just that. Participating in In Your Shoes has shown me so many different perspectives, taught me so much about America, and given me so many great memories. I can't wait to see where it goes from here.
