Bonjour!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This trip had truly been amazing!! The experience I have gained from this class and group are amazing. This was my third study abroad trip. Every time I go abroad with SPC I always come back with new friendships and experiences! We stayed in Paris, France for seven days and got to visit many museums.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also received my bachelor’s in science in Elementary education during this adventure! I got to celebrate abroad which made it even more special! We got to celebrate the Christmas season and learn about the history of art. Being able to see the artwork we did assignments on was truly eye opening. Just so many amazing things!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
