"As a high school junior, I would typically feel repelled by the idea of going to college out of state, despite the vast amount of great colleges there are far from my home. But after hearing Eluney speak in this episode, I felt more receptive to creating a new home in a new environment. I am Mexican and I am surrounded by Mexican immigrant culture. My friends have the same type of parenting. So when I heard that my environment is not the whole world or how it functions, I thought about the diversity I would be exposed to if I did not limit myself to staying in one home. With that in mind, I felt less afraid of offering myself to the new environment and gaining a new perspective of the world. There is no doubt that being unaware of our surroundings is uncomfortable but you can choose to become aware."
