WHAT'S ONE STORY OR IMPORTANT ASPECT YOU ALWAYS TELL PEOPLE ABOUT YOUR TIME ABROAD?
I always tried to step out of my comfort zone while I was abroad. I felt like I should make the most out of my experience so I tried doing the dance, cooking, and all other classes that were provided. I tried my best speaking Spanish and wanted to really learn about the culture from the locals. I was able to come back with so many stories about my experience just because I tried something new.
WHAT WAS YOUR FAVORITE CLASS WHILE ABROAD, AND WHY?
My favorite class was Holistic Health (alternative medicine). I am currently on the premed track and the class gave me a perspective that I could of never received back home. It was a discussion based class as well so I was able to hear about all these different opinions which I loved and I think that the experience will really help me during my premed journey.
