"My life changed because of my VOBS expedition. I learned to work with people and put my life in the hands of others. It was an exhilarating experience to be out in nature, on the lakes of Minnesota. The trip was unlike any I had taken, or have taken since. The back-to-basics, "Crew Not Passengers" approach is something that I have always remembered and try to emulate in my life to this day. When in a tough situation, one identifies what is truly important in life. This is what I think about when the chips are down and I'm searching for a solution to my life's struggles. The lessons I learned on course have gotten me through some of my darkest times. I am much
stronger and more resilient as a result."
