"Tell everyone to take advantage of every opportunity that is offered to them. This is a unique, once-in-a-lifetime experience. You can learn a lot, make a ton of good friends, and see and do things you may never get the opportunity to do again.
Also, I wish I knew that although speaking Spanish for five weeks is a challenge, I knew more than I thought I did. And it's really not that bad to take chances and make mistakes. In fact, that's the way you learn a lot of the things you wouldn't have had the opportunity to learn otherwise."
