Visiting a Huron village, learning French, and examining cultural differences during study abroad in Canada.<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

– Ariana Sparling, SPC High School Student, Canada Program, January 2019<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Canada study abroad trip was one that I felt opened my eyes to how different cultures can be, even those that seem to be the most similar. Canada is a country that I always felt would\u2019ve been very similar to the United States, but despite the overwhelming number of similarities, I did notice many differences during this program. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This trip was also one of the first times I\u2019ve ever been on an aircraft and the first time I\u2019ve left the country or seen snow, so it was all a very new experience for me. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While in Canada, we visited Montreal and Quebec City. Montreal, I felt, was very similar to what I would imagine New York to feel like, though I\u2019ve never been. Quebec, however, felt very different from America. From the architecture to the culture, I felt like I had traveled farther than just across a land border, and I felt that our time spent there was very educational. I not only learned more French, but I also learned a lot about Canadian politics and history. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We also participated in activities that were typical of groups from the area. One of the most memorable activities we participated in was when we visited a Huron village. While we were there, we learned about their culture, their history, and the struggles their people went through. We also got to eat a typical Huron meal, learned about their mythology, and even went snowshoeing, which was so much fun!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our trip to Canada taught me so much about the world and foreign countries that I had never known or thought about previously. It was not only a chance to learn and make new friends, but also a time to make once in a lifetime memories that I can cherish forever. Though having to leave was very sad, I feel that since the trip, I have become a more well-rounded and global citizen, due to my experiences and the lessons I learned in Canada. I would surely do it all over again. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
