To travel with Abbey Road Programs is a great opportunity for anybody, and I am truly blessed to be able to experience it this summer. Stanford has a great campus, and hopefully while on my trip I’ll be able to meet some new people there. I just recently started getting in to the sport of tennis, so I assure you, I’ll be bringing my racquet! What I’m most looking to get out of A.R. is both new knowledge and a better understanding of the world that surrounds me. I believe that what A.R. offers in its Leadership Academy is much more than just a fun summer (although it should be a lot of fun); it’s also a way for teens my age and older to be part of something that is much bigger than just them. -Jared Carter
