Now that this trip is coming to an end, I like to look back at everything and think about how my thoughts changed from how they were before to how they are now. I definitely recommend studying abroad to anyone because I think that it is the best and quickest way to learn something from a different perspective. It is amazing to actually be here, rather than reading/seeing everything in a textbook. The culture that you learn on a program like this is something that you would never learn in a classroom, and I don’t think it is really possible to understand everything in the classroom. At least as far as learning a new language is concerned I think it is much better to do it abroad. This is definitely a once in a lifetime experience that I will always cherish. My appreciation for the Spanish language and culture just keeps growing!!
