Life After The Bridge: Reflections from James, 2012

Our latest interview in the Life After The Bridge series is with James, a 2012 graduate of The Bridge currently pursuing a Doctorate in Psychology from George Fox University.

"The Bridge is really where I had the seed planted that I could be happy in life. I was really happy living in Costa Rica, and really happy living at The Bridge."

Tune in to hear James' reflections on his supportive gap experience more than a decade after leaving Costa Rica, including:

• How a visit to the Bribri indigenous community in Costa Rica helped shape his perspective and worldview
  
• Why he still carries a seed from Costa Rica with him nearly 15 years later as a reminder of the seeds that were planted in him at The Bridge
  
• The reasons a structured and supportive community was so powerful for his sense of self and confidence
  
• How living in a different country allowed him to focus on personal growth during his gap experience
