One of the best parts of a trip is its anticipation. If I were my 6-year old, I would be jumping up and down in one place, unable to stop talking - and I'm so excited, this is what I feel like doing. But I'm not six. So, I'm anticipating, preparing, focusing, worrying (let's be honest), and energizing for this unique opportunity. I want to make it as rich an experience as I can, and I know my classmates will help me do that. Class 41 and CALF - Spasiba! Dyahkooyoo! Dziekuje! Dekuji!
But if we learn to think of it as anticipation, as learning, as growing, if we think of the time we spend waiting for the big things of life as an opportunity instead of a passing of time, what wonderful horizons open out! - Anna Neagle

I am very excited to attend this "once in a lifetime" international seminar with Class 41. I am thrilled to explore my Russian heritage and to learn more about the post-communist Soviet Bloc. Dr. Thomas and the CALF staff have done an amazing job scheduling the seminar! I can't wait to see what they have yet to come! I also want to thank the alumni and sponsors of the California Agriculture Leadership program. Our class has grown a tremendous amount over the last two years and it's because of your donations and support that we are able to attend this seminar as a class. Thank you all, I can't wait to give back to the program what it has given me!

Thanks Steve and Dr. Crabb!
I'm looking forward to an amazing trip with an amazing group!! Can't wait to see Christine's calendars, Steph's ballet, and Dr. T's night train. Looking forward to learning lots more on the history, cultures and current issues of four unique countries. Not looking forward to the sadness of some of the places we will be visiting, but most definitely to the overall positive impact that it will have on me.
