2011 International Summer Sessions at John Tracy Clinic
Posted on September 02 2011, 4:18:45 PM | Posted by volunteer
JTC has begun to receive some notes from parents returning home from International Summer Sessions; here is an excerpt:
I love being home but I wish you guys weren’t completely across the continent….. I have a lot of people asking about our trip and wanting details but I have trouble putting it into words…. It was magical…. And usually when I say that, people interpret it by connecting it with Disneyland…but not exactly what I was referring to. Our children grew so much in that short amount of time… as did we. It’s amazing how 3 short weeks could have such an impact on our lives.
