As privileged Americans, few places in the world offer a more foreign backdrop for us to learn from than India. Each day, I was constantly reminded that my growing comfort with rickshaws buzzing by in the streets, or samosa vendors calling out to us hoping we would stop in to spend a few rupees, were but a couple of minute parts to the complexities of that mesmerizing country. What better way to expand your comfort zone, than to remove yourself from it altogether. The ACM India Studies program gives you the ability to reform the foundation of your character, and I struggle to imagine any student regretting their decision to study and live in India.

Looking back at my ACM Urban Studies experience, I realize just how much I learned in those few short months. Sure, I learned the CTA like the back of my hand, found great hangout spots I still visit when I'm in the area, and learned that there are 77 areas in the city of Chicago. What I learned most, however, was that it doesn't take a "superhero" to create positive change. The community members and leaders I met during the program amazed me, and I still find myself recalling the lessons I learned from them. I remember that they were just people like me, and that I can create change to help improve the lives of both myself and the people around me.
