He speaks highly of pursuing satisfaction in career path before satisfaction in pay. He then assured us that all individuals who pursue the career of things they love would be sure to maximize their potential in the field, and therefore find financial success as well.<\/p>\n<p>One of the most significant experiences was a trip to an indigenous village of the people of the Embera tribe. We had the opportunity to observe their culture, and we\u2019re later challenged to critically analyze the impact of the government influence as well as the peace corps\u2019 presence in their area and similar areas. Members of our student travel group were forced to consider ideas through the eyes of those being \u201chelped\u201d such as the Emberas, and consider rather or not the outside assistance to achieve \u201d better standards of living\u201d actually benefit those people.

I hope to use my experience to motivate others to consider differing points of view when pushing their own agendas as best.<\/p>\n<p>Isaiah Bailey<\/p>\n<p>University of Richmond 2013<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Panama trip was an amazing experience that taught several beneficial lessons for life.
