WHAT'S ONE STORY OR IMPORTANT ASPECT YOU ALWAYS TELL PEOPLE ABOUT YOUR TIME ABROAD?
Before studying abroad, I had never traveled entirely on my own. While I had lived far from home and taken long journeys before with friends, being alone was a new experience. Solo backpacking gave me the confidence to pursue any goal without fear of the unknown. As I begin my adult life and career, I feel equipped with the experience and knowledge to move anywhere and achieve anything.
HOW
DID YOU ENGAGE WITH THE LOCAL COMMUNITY WHILE ABROAD?
One way I engaged with the local community was attending the cultural exchange that CEA hosted at the academic center. They invited local students who go to school in Paris, and we were able to all hang out and get to know each other. It was fun talking about the differences between going to school in the US vs in Paris.
