TU Abroad Stories: Emily Rickens

“I went to Israel in January of 2017. It was only a ten day trip but it has affected me in more ways than one. This was my second study abroad trip, my previous being at my undergraduate school. Upon returning I think about Israel everyday. My longing and yearning to go back is palatable, as the vivacious was and tenacity of this country and it’s residents has resounded with me since January. I am saving up every spare penny I have so I can take my mother to Israel so that she can have the same world changing experience that I had.”
