My Travel Story

My name is Sincere and I am a Junior Electrical Engineering student at the West Virginia University (WVU). I have been accepted to and plan on attending a 8 week summer engineering study abroad program in Seville ,Spain. Students in this program will have the opportunity to take a course focused on the professional development in industry as well as travel and experience everything Spain has to offer.




I have never had the opportunity to travel really abroad, ride in a train, or even fly in a plane, so this 2 month-long trip would be an incredible experience for me. As a first-generation college student, attending university has been a gift alone; getting to make the most of my time in college by participating in this program would add to my experience as not only a college student but as a citizen of the world. It would allow me to gain credit toward my degree as well as a global experience that I cannot get in West Virginia . Living in Spain for 2 months would teach me skills like communicating in another language, navigating through travel hubs such as airports and train stations, and even some cooking.




When I return to the United States, I plan on being an advocate for WVU study abroad programs by participating in WVU “Culture Shock” Program

, which is a program that connects American students with students from around the world so they both can learn about each others’ cultures and spend time together. I also plan to advertise my specific program by being a representative that goes to WVU classes and gives presentations, answers questions and guides people through the process. I have many Foreign friends, and I love hearing about their cultures and life in their home countries. I want to experience life outloud for a while so I can expand my knowledge and come back with a renewed mindset of life and the world around me. Thank you so much for helping, anything is greatly appreciated




Thankfully,

Sincere
