Studying abroad and traveling has always been some out of reach dream I\u2019ve yearned for, as I love to travel and experience the world. Well, SPC made that dream a reality and I\u2019m still having a hard time believing that I\u2019m leaving for Germany in just a month! The process was easy and the SPC staff was incredibly friendly and helpful.<\/p>\n

As an aspiring visual development artist, \"\"<\/a>traveling has always been important to me. Every place I\u2019ve been, every person I\u2019ve met, it all translates into my work. I believe it\u2019s important for an artist to gain a wider perspective by visiting different countries and people and learning the history and cultures that make those places what they are.<\/p>\n

Coming back to class for the fall semester, I met Dr. Li Lee Tunceren, an absolutely wonderful professor who encouraged me to join the Germany spring semester class. I\u2019ve struggled with my health for years now and only recently have been able to make my recovery. Spending an entire semester abroad would have been very difficult for me, hence why it was so out of my reach. However, when I found out the Germany trip is only a week long, I quickly jumped at the opportunity. I simply filled out an online application, met with Dr. Tunceren for a sort of briefing, and bam<\/em>, I was accepted.<\/p>\n

Now the only problem was cost, because so much of my family\u2019s money had gone into medical bills. So, I applied for a scholarship. I filled in some information and answered some questions in written responses and got the application submitted only days before the due date. All I could do then is wait. Weeks passed until I received the email\u2026 \u201cCongratulations!\u201d I was accepted and the cost of the trip was cut in half<\/strong>! I\u2019m going to Germany! Where will you go?<\/p>\n
