Oh the places you can go, the places you dream of.
Possibilities abound!
You have the choice-to go somewhere exotic or somewhere comfortable.
Do you want to be speaking English or to learn other exotic
languages?
It’s your call, and you can’t go wrong.
From North America to South America, Europe, Asia, Africa,
or Australia,
alluring cultures await your imminent arrival.
All of these places are splendid,
And no matter what, we’ll have a great time.
From all of the pictures we’ll take of the exquisite sights
we’ll be seeing,
To the new friends, in new locales, we’ll soon be meeting,
We will be rewarded with the rich memories.
But just remember,
We’re
more than students. We are ambassadors as well.
Ambassadors to our schools and countries, serving as the
flagbearers.
Flagbearers at the Olympics of culture, language, and
humanity.
More importantly though, cultural ambassadors.
For we represent our respective countries when in others.
We need
to uphold the standards thrust upon our shoulders.
We help other places learn what it’s like back home, and
learn ourselves.
By learning, we are able to enjoy life and its tangy spices.
And that is why we students board the planes to Silk Roads
of awareness.

This poem has brought light in my eyes in the essence of travel. What truth and excitement it brings to think of myself as not only a person who is seeking the wisdom and culture of another country, but reflecting on my own as well. I couldn't help but get excited for the different opportunities that lie ahead of me when I go abroad.
