More than the hard skills that I’ve taken away from the Tucker
Foundation, the job skills, leadership skills, medical skills working on the
Cross Cultural Education Service program in Nicaragua I think more than
anything the Tucker Foundation has challenged my perspective, my world
perspective, my community perspective.
