Spring 2020 Participant
I found that staying with my host mom was the most rewarding part. She was so kind and sweet to me. I loved that even when I came home after school, I was still able to be immersed in the culture because my host mom taught me things that even school can't teach.

I learned so much about the Spanish language and culture that I never would have learned had I not studied abroad. I learned how to travel, be independent, be more confident in my language abilities and I made so many new friends that I never would have made if I didn't study abroad.

It was rewarding to not only have survived in a completely new environment, but also to have thrived! Learning Spanish and being fully immersed in a different culture seemed scary at times, but exceeded all my expectations, which was rewarding.
