My D went to France, Italy, and England with P2P her freshman year of high school and had a wonderful time. She still talks about it to this day, and she’s a senior now about to graduate. I think it made her see that there’s more to this world than just our little corner and all the opportunities that are available and also how handy it is to know a foreign language. She’s had five years of French starting in middle school.

It was expensive, but we thought it would be a good experience for her and do not regret it. I still look at those pictures and say, wow, she was at the Eiffel Tower, the Coliseum, the Sistene Chapel, the Leaning Tower of Piza, etc., places which I have never been, and feel that we gave her a gift. Now she wants to travel the world and see more and learn more. I believe it was worth it.
