CYMA was an experience that will stay with me for the rest of my life. I not only learned so much about my culture and the land that I am from, but I also grew as a person.

It was the journey of a lifetime. I was able to truly discover my heritage through the historical landmarks, the tradition, and the people that have shaped my life as I know it today. There is no doubt in my mind that I will return to Armenia to continue the search for my identity.

I believe it is very important that more of the youth see and learn about our motherland, because there is so much that is left out of the picture, and we are deprived of this rich history and knowledge about our past.
