In late July I will be studying abroad to La Rochelle, France to finish my language credits in French! La Rochelle is on the western coast of France. The first week of the program will be spent in Paris and Normandy, touring some of the most popular areas of this beautiful country. I will be applying for many scholarships for this program, along with working throughout the rest of the school year!

This program will help me a great deal with my second langauage, as I will be learning through immersion. I will be spending 4 weeks in an intensive language program at a French university, and be speaking French while I do daily activities! Not only will this program assist me in my undergraduate degree, but it will also assist me in my graduate degree; I will need to be fluent in a foreign langauge to achieve my masters degree in Philosphy, and French is the langauge that most of my favorite philosophers originally write in. This program will help me to continue to increase my global awareness and understanding, as well as immerse me in the French langauge and culture so that I may be not only fluent, but have a special conenction with France and my time studying there.
