My parents are slowly, but surely agreeing that I should study abroad. I’ve always wanted to study abroad, but never thought I would have the straight guts to, but I moved across the country and lived pretty much 8 months out of the year away from home, I think 6 months in a different country wouldn’t be too bad. My perspective for moving out of state and out of country is that college is one of the best, if not the best, reason to get out of your comfort zone (your home). It’s a chance to experience a new culture, meet different people, and find something new about yourself. Personally, I don’t think I would ever get the chance of moving to the East Coast (besides for a job) if it wasn’t for my drive, motivation and of course, a scholarship to leave. When will I ever get the chance to explore, learn, and experience a country and its culture after college? How will I get the time? I think study abroad is the perfect chance to. I want to study abroad twice (once junior year and another senior year). But I’ll definitely accept going only once if anything. I just feel like there’s so much in the world. I also would love to do service projects in third world countries, especially the Latin countries considering I’m a Spanish minor. I want to join the Peace Corps after college, but I don’t think I’ll have the time to, so service projects during college is my only way to accomplish this goal of helping people in different countries in need (: God definitely will lead me in a good path and whatever happens, happens. 

fyi, Spain is definitely an option for Study Abroad locations….

Some have come close, but no one fully understands.
