	Costa Rica Outward Bound taught me to never underestimate anyone - my own strength, other peoples effort, experiences and what you cannot see. I learned how to be a stronger leader, a better follower, and how far a smile can take you. I think anyone would benefit from meeting a Tico. —Shannon Gallant, 22, Leadership Semester alum
