Greece is a land steeped in ancient traditions, cultures and \u00a0history. One of my favorite classes was the study of Ancient Greece. I loved learning about the myths and legends of Greek gods and to be standing on the same soil where stories of Athena , Artemis and Demeter were created would be an awesome experience. Although many of the temples and ancient structures are now in ruins, I think just seeing them will bring to life those ancient stories.<\/p>\n<p>I have always wanted to go there and was<a href=\"https:\/\/blog.spcollege.edu\/international\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2017\/06\/Greece-7.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-15551 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.spcollege.edu\/international\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2017\/06\/Greece-7-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"studying abroad in greece\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.spcollege.edu\/international\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2017\/06\/Greece-7-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.spcollege.edu\/international\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2017\/06\/Greece-7-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/blog.spcollege.edu\/international\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2017\/06\/Greece-7-32x32.jpg 32w, https:\/\/blog.spcollege.edu\/international\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2017\/06\/Greece-7-50x50.jpg 50w, https:\/\/blog.spcollege.edu\/international\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2017\/06\/Greece-7-64x64.jpg 64w, https:\/\/blog.spcollege.edu\/international\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2017\/06\/Greece-7-96x96.jpg 96w, https:\/\/blog.spcollege.edu\/international\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2017\/06\/Greece-7-128x128.jpg 128w, https:\/\/blog.spcollege.edu\/international\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2017\/06\/Greece-7.jpg 401w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a> thrilled to learn that not only was I accepted to the class, but had also won the scholarship that would allow me to finally visit and see Greece came to live. When I found out I got a scholarship I got so excited, I got my luggage down from the attic and started to pack it. I then realized it would be a few months before I would need to pack, and I don&#8217;t even know what to pack.<\/p>\n<p>I confess. I love trying Greek food here in America, and can\u2019t wait to sample \u00a0authentic food. I want to see not only the monuments, but also experience today&#8217;s\u00a0 Greek culture.I have already started researching the different types of foods and customs from the country, and I am even trying to learn some of the language. Suffice to say I am not speaking like a native yet, but as everyday passes the more excited I get. I give my heartfelt thanks for the scholarship that is allowing me to go on a new adventure and the opportunity of a lifetime. \u00a0Everyone should aspire to see and participate in different cultures, it can alter your views and form new ideas of how to deal with obstacles in your life.<\/p>\n<p>Thank You and I look forward studying abroad in Greece and sharing my experience with others when I return.<\/p>\n<p><em>-SPC study abroad student, Antoinette Barnes<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Click <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.spcollege.edu\/international\/study-abroad\/\">here<\/a> to learn more about SPC study abroad programs!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Questions?<\/strong>\u00a0Don\u2019t hesitate to contact us.<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>blog.spcollege.edu\/international | 727-341-4731 | studyabroad@spcollege.edu<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a few months I will be studying abroad in Greece, and I could not be more excited.
