Final Reflection Questions
What were the most significant take-aways from your experience?

The relationships I made in these short three weeks with both the NTSU students, Dr. Cooper and the others on the trip with UGA were sacred and I wouldn't change a thing. These friendships are truly going to last a life time. I am already talking to NTSU students everyday via Facebook. This was truly an experience that cannot be topped and I would go back in a heart beat.

What were the most significant take-aways from your experience?
|
Being in a country such as Taiwan, I was exposed to a culture that is completely different from America. Not only did I learn new and interesting ways to treat injuries in athletes but I also learned the way the people of Taiwan lived their lives every single day. I met quite possibly the nicest and most genuine people I will meet on this Earth.

The manual massage techniques we were taught were awesome! I also really enjoyed learning about all of the pressure points throughout the body. The trip itself provided me with exposure to a new culture and experiences that I would not be able to experience anywhere else. The entire trip was amazing and I would highly recommend it to any future Athletic Trainers!
