Lauren Eller
May 7, 2013
The homestay of any trip abroad, if offered, is by far the most enriching experience.

With everything we hear on the news about the Middle East, whether it be the war in Iraq, the recent tragedy in Libya, or the most recent Taliban violence in Pakistan, our views of the Middle East are riddled with confusion, with frustration, and sometimes with anger and resentment.

Chances are, at some point in your life (maybe the first day of camp, or orientation), someone has told you to share your name, and an interesting fact about yourself.
