There are times in events that you just have to laugh.
My job with Study Tours put the safety of the students as the top priority. Of course, this priority was swiftly followed by a myriad of requests to maximize the students' stay. Although we would do all we could to ensure the safety of the students, sometimes the students didn't always think with their heads - most of the time it was with their egos, or just not at all.
In my previous position at Rider I would take hundreds of high school students visiting from Italy, Kazakhstan, Spain, Portugal, and other places on tour to New York City, Philadelphia, Washington DC, Los Angeles, San Diego, and San Francisco. I was essentially a cruise director without the boat. The students were visiting in the summer for two weeks where they would go to class for 3 hours in the morning and learn English. The remaining 21 hours was up to the Study Tours Counselors to take them to various tourist attractions.
