I was especially intrigued about this trip because it is to a unique place and because I plan on traveling a lot later in my life. I thought that a high school trip to a place that is not only beautiful but also historically and scientifically significant would be a great start to my international adventures. In regards to college I plan to either major in something related to cultures, specifically socio-cultural anthropology, linguistics, or world/international studies. Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands have a genuinely unique culture that I am excited to experience and explore.

​I'm excited for this trip because this is a once in a lifetime opportunity to not only go to a place I’ve never been before, but to learn all that I can about it with some of my best friends. I’ll be taking lots of pictures to bring home to show everyone what we’ve learned and also to use as inspiration for my artwork! Learning from other cultures is an essential part of our IB Art program here at Reagan, and I am always looking for new sources of inspiration, so this trip will help develop my art in new and interesting ways. I really hope we see a lot of wildlife up close! I can’t wait to be out near the ocean, and I’m super excited for the hikes and other activities that’ll get us up and out there!​

I am very excited for the Galapagos trip because of all the different sceneries. Living in a city doesn’t really give you a full nature experience unless you go sightseeing but sometimes a change is good. Traveling to different parts of the world has always been on my bucket list ever since I discovered books and art. Learning about different places and their culture through books makes me want to experience it in real life. As a DP Art student, I get the urge to draw new things on sight and so this is a great opportunity to expand on my traditional art skills. Definitely drawing the animals, plants and even people is the activity I’m looking forward to. I am also hoping to learn about a new Hispanic culture other than my own and learning the differences about the Spanish I know and the Spanish in Ecuador. All in all, I can’t wait for this trip!

I'm intrigued by this trip because with new places comes unique culture, climate, and experiences. I've learned this without ever leaving the United States. Traveling to a new continent should bring about even more interesting differences. I'm excited to be immersed in the Spanish language, try new foods, and explore the landscape and rare animals that live there.

​​I’m excited to go the Galapagos because I love nature. The sights there are very beautiful and to experience them up close is a dream come true. The wildlife is something I really want to see as well because it is unique to the Galapagos Islands. I also want to experience and enjoy a different culture and interact with the people living there. I’m Mexican-American and my Spanish is good, but I see this trip as an opportunity to communicate with people of a different Latin culture and enrich my Spanish. Also, this trip is something I am looking forward to because I believe that since I attend an International Baccalaureate school, I should be taking every opportunity to experience the world and all the beauty it has to offer. Also as a DP Biology student, I will get to experience the area once explored and studied by Charles Darwin, the man who proposed the Theory of Evolution, something that I have studied in my Biology class. The things I hope to see the most when I am there are the Galapagos tortoises. I also love to travel and see the ocean so I look forward to experiencing that again. I know that we are going to have a great time there!
