Not personally rankled. Just saying that one has to be careful how to phrase these things, as it is easy to end up implying that other kids are close-minded, or backwards, or what have you. Probably the best approach is to focus on how the travel/experience X changed you (“I used to be worried about being able to do things on my own, but I gained confidence that I could handle a potentially frightening situation when I had to blah, blah, blah.”)</p>
