Why did you choose to study or intern abroad?
Barcelona is known to be a reputable place to study abroad. I am really interested in the culture, especially the food and nightlife. I wanted to go somewhere that would offer high-quality education, along with a fun environment that would be easy to adjust to. A bunch of my friends are also studying abroad here, so I thought it would be a great opportunity for me. I plan on going to optometry school after undergrad, which is a 4-year program. I will not be able to travel as much during that time of my life so being able to travel now while receiving an education is an experience I am excited for.

WhAT IS ONE NEW EXPERIENCE YOU'RE HOPING TO HAVE WHILE ABROAD?
My family was never big on traveling, so now that I am old enough to do it myself I want to take the opportunity to see the world. I plan on traveling to new countries whenever I can this semester abroad.

What CLASS ARE YOU MOST LOOKING FORWARD TO TAKING while ABROAD?
I am most excited about taking the course called "The Impact Journey", which is mainly focused on volunteering and service learning.

WHAT IS SOMETHING you're passionate and excited about? 
I am excited to learn about the different cultures that I will be exposed to while being abroad, especially the food and nightlife. I plan taking volunteering opportunities as well because I am passionate about doing everything I can to make the world a better place.
