My Travel Story

  • Educational/Research Trip
  • Study/Degree Abroad
I am going to Spain from June 28th- July 30th! As a Spanish major, this experience will be invaluable. I have never had the opportunity to visit another country, let alone study in another country for several weeks. While I am in Valencia I will be taking two classes with other students from NC State, History of Modern Spanish Art and Culture and Civilization of Spain, both taught entirely in Spanish. I am very excited to be taking these classes to further my own understanding of not only the language, but the culture as well. I am also studying Human Biology because I am planning to go to medical school. I believe that being fully immersed in another culture will really help me to become fluent in speaking Spanish and that will benefit me in the future. I plan to use my experiences to encourage my peers to become involved in other cultures and learn new languages the way that I have. I am passionate about this study abroad opportunity because as a group we are visiting many museums of art, culture, and sciences, taking trips to other countries, and learning new skills together. This is meaningful to me because I have been surrounded by Spanish speakers my entire life and I have been studying Spanish on and off for 10 years. I have never had the opportunity to speak Spanish day in and day out before and I would really like to test my skills. Thank you for your support!

    Hello everyone! Thank you so much to everyone who has supported my fundraiser so far! As of now we have reached 3% of the goal and that is so great! I wanted to post a small update now that I have returned from my spring break : My university has opened the summer financial aid application and I have applied. I will update again when I find out how much I received and if my fundraising goal is going to change! Thank you again for all the support!
