<p>and wants to grammar correct this :D</p>
<pre><code> Its not often that traveling comes to mind as a major extracurricular activity. It obviously doesnt warrant a scholarship, or garner any type of national recognition, or anything else conventionally obtained under the label of extracurricular, but it has, without a doubt, been the most life enriching activity Ive engaged in outside of the classroom.
Strictly through traveling with my school, I have learned far more about the human condition than I ever could have simply out of a textbook. Its been instrumental in molding my perception of the world, particularly in the discovery of how interconnected mankind is, in spite of national prejudice and cultural boundaries.
Having the opportunity to live out these experiences has been nothing short of a dream come true. I realize how fortunate I am to even have these experiences, and I hope some day I can put what Ive learned from them to good use.
