When I was younger, my family and I would visit other family across America and we even took one trip to Canada. I remember that like it was yesterday but I remember that I was a little disappointed because as a little kid I thought ever country was extremely different, and Canada was not different at all. I still thought it was cool to be able to say that I&#8217;ve been out of the country, but I&#8217;ve always wanted to be able to go to Europe. It&#8217;s like one of those things that you wish you can do one day but it seems almost impossible.<\/p>\n<p>Choosing to do this program made me very excited but sometimes I still felt that it was out of my reach. Being here now makes me realize that it is not, and I have been missing out on a once in a lifetime experience!! Spain has proven to be exactly what I though another country would be like. It is much different here than it is in America, but I absolutely love it! Salamanca is such a beautiful, historic city with a rich culture. I have enjoyed everything about being here. I feel like I am learning so much about different cultures, and I believe that helps one to be a better individual. Understanding other cultures is a great thing.<\/p>\n<p>As far as attending school here, it&#8217;s awesome too! I feel as if I have learned so much more here than I have in a few years of taking Spanish classes. The teachers are wonderful, and really helpful. I definitely recommend taking a study abroad trip to anyone who is thinking about doing it!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In all of my life I have never had the chance to travel to Europe.
