I look at it in a way that makes me more curious about my surroundings and makes me want to get to know the stories behind every individual I meet. Everyone has a story to share that would be reflective in my own life and I appreciate that my eyes have opened up in a new perspective.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><em>\u201cIn the past I have heard vocation described as \u2018what the world needs from me\u2019. Before the program this didn&#8217;t speak very much to me; however, after some of my experiences, I am thinking about how to incorporate even more activism into my future career, and how can those plans benefit and uplift a wider variety of people.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><em>\u201cIn regards to vocation, the [Fall Break Program] provided real-life examples of how we can fully integrate our passions and work. As someone who wants to work in a variety of fields but is similarly driven by my own principles, I felt seen by everyone we met and traveled with through exploring this understanding of vocation.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Cothran Center has traveled with students to a variety of locations for the Fall Break program.
