I learned that just because there are aspects of a culture that are different than my own does not mean they are inherently "bad." This experience really challenges you to look at the world from a different persepctive.

I loved Angers. Its a really beautiful city and everything was within walking distance. It was small enough that everything was accesible and safe but big enough to keep me curious and adventuring.

I found the complete French language immersion so rewarding. I found sometimes it was harder to speak English than French because my classes were made up of people from China, Japan, or Poland so our only form of verbal communication was through French. I realized how much I learned from when all the study abroad students leaving in December gathered for one last assembly and I understood 97% of what the director was saying when only 4 months prior I understood maybe 50%. It's in that moment I realized how far I have come with French and motivates me to continue learning more.
