Throughout my life I have lived through good and bad experiences. Today I will share about one of the best experiences of my life. While attending undergrad at Molloy College, I minored in Spanish and took a trip of a lifetime to study abroad in Spain. A classmate of mine had suggested this trip and persuaded me to travel with her. I am beyond grateful that I decided to take advantage of this opportunity and am lucky that I was financially able to do so as well. Upon arriving in Spain, I was filled with curiosity and the desire to absorb culture and thrilling experiences. After meeting the group I would spend the next month with, we quickly became friendly and were ready to take on this adventure. We went to school, tried new food, leaned to dance salsa, visited museums and other historical places, and took a lot of pictures. My favorite part of the trip was taking a weekend vacation with only the students to Barcelona. I felt independent and alive. Span was a beautiful place filled with art, different styles of clothing and architecture, and very nice people. I even formed a friendly relationship with a girl from Indiana that lived in the same house as I did.

I loved reading this entry. I have always wanted to travel to Spain and your blog entry made me want to take that trip even more now. Studying abroad is a wonderful opportunity that students should really try to take advantage of if they are financially able to do so. It sounds as if you had a really wonderful time and gained far more from the experience than earning additional credits. Thank you for sharing this.
