I have always dreamed of traveling the world and studying abroad since I was a little girl, and have finally received the opportunity of studying abroad in Spain for 3 weeks, taking Spanish and Spanish culture courses at a university in Spain, and living in and understanding a foreign culture. I am only a junior in high shool and am well aware that hardly any other high schoolers get the opportunity to get to go on a trip that is so incredible and educational, which is why I am doing everything I can to get this opportunity to travel to Sevilla, Spain. Ever since I found out about this opportunity I have imagined myself walking along the antique streets of Sevilla, and immersing myself in the Spanish culture. In the future I want to be able to communicate through both English and Spanish, especially living in San Diego where Spanish is widespread. Through this trip, I can take my Spanish learning outside of a classroom and apply it to real life, which is something I have always wanted to do. I know this sounds incredibly sappy and generic but I don't know what else to say because this is how I feel. I am planning on doing everything I can to go on this trip, I started applying for jobs the day I found out about the trip. I can only imagine the impact this trip will save on my life, and how I view and understand other cultures. f you can do anything to help me continue my education thousands of miles away it is greatly appreciated and I am sending each and every one of you virtual hugs. :)
