Life Changing

I have been transformed by this place and studying abroad overall. I have come back with so much knowledge about differing cultures, architecture, cuisine, and more. I believe that I found who I am and who I want to be while studying abroad. It was a long 4 months but, I really got a lot of self-reflection time and motivation to grow into who I am supposed to be. I realized that I care about my friends and family, especially when forced to only communicate in a certain time frame (due to time differences) and only via telephone. I came back with an over appreciation and love for those who I surround myself with.
I was very pleased with the type of living I did: Casa de Sevilla. My host mother was the best person that I could ever ask for. I had many roommates from other places around the United States that showed me the different culture dynamics that I have within my country. I had a wonderful group of teachers who all taught me so much about the topic but also, myself. I believe that all of the second-level staff at this location were amazing; The head of this location should be more globally competent. Especially when it comes down to the United States culture due to having all United States, and majority women, students.
