Study Abroad
My Travel Story
I feel as though there is too much hate in the world. I wish to gain a broader understanding of the world to better relate to people on a global scale. I am interested in becoming an effective communicator and public speaker. This experience will get me out of my comfort zone and encourage me to work on these skills. In addition, I wish to accomplish an advanced understanding of the language, culture, and traditions. In the future, I wish to go to college to do something with language. Maybe a translator/interpreter, linguist, or language teacher, so an experience like this will be highly beneficial.
Austria holds a special place in my heart. My grandfather grew up in Austria and shared his culture and stories with our family. Growing up he often taught my sister and me new words and shared stories about his life, and the countryside. This past summer our family took a trip to Europe with my grandfather and his wife to meet my family who lives in Austria. Being immersed in the culture, and seeing how other people live was an amazing experience. Witnessing my grandfather translating for our family while we were there was incredibly inspiring to me, and motivated me to become an exchange student.
Words can't even express how excited, and humbled I am to learn about this fantastic country! Dankeschön für Helfen mir erreichen Meine Träume!
