Rome Wasn't Built in a Day, Right? That’s the question and/or sarcastic answer my parents have been throwing at me since childhood. Patience is not my strong suit, but in the case of our RYE kiddos, it has to be. To step into a culture that is so out of character can be difficult yet breathtaking. To venture into a foreign country, away from the friends and family that have been by your side since – well forever – requires not just patience, but natural instinct, optimism, encouragement, and confidence. All of our young ambassadors seem to possess this talent and many more. |

The worst, the best, and the ones I’m totally obsessed with like New York style pepperoni pizza. I thought to myself, “I wonder if Chawin thinks any of my meals are gross…”
So, I posed this question to our students:
Best and worst foods so far? I won’t even lie, I laughed a quite a few of these. |
