Hello everyone! We are ALL doing our very, very best during this time. Staying home can be hard. Worrying about loved ones can be hard. Stressing over lost income can be hard. Cancelled plans, spending birthdays alone, missing nature… All of this and more brings new challenges for us all. But. WE WILL GET THROUGH THIS. I truly believe that we will come away from this experience stronger, more unified, and proud of what we have accomplished together. We are learning new skills. We are experiencing more arts and crafts. We are connecting (virtually) with more with family and old friends than ever before. And we are learning about ourselves, both as individuals and as a society. While it is truly unfortunate that this is happening during your studies in the U.S., this challenge is providing greater opportunities for personal growth than you could have ever imagined. And we’re here to help. I am here for you. ISP is here for you. And we will all help each other. I very much look forward to seeing you all again soon.
