“What stood out most was how Susana encouraged us to ask deeper, more meaningful questions—even suggesting ones I hadn’t considered based on my own interests. By the end, I felt more confident, more prepared, and able to truly imagine myself in these environments. It wasn’t just a tour; it felt like the first real step toward my future.”
