Diary of… a Student Who Studied Abroad

We studied with about 40-50 different students from all around the US and all around the world. I now know people from about 15 different states and even met a girl from Iceland. I don’t know why that is so exciting to me, but it is.
I look back at my experience and thank God everyday for giving me the opportunity to have my eyes opened. Although we had to give up a lot to go on this trip, it was one of the best decisions I have ever made. I was always an optimistic person, and this trip showed me all the possibilities that are out there, and now that I have had a piece of it I know that if I work hard, I can do it all.
