Study abroad has been my single favorite experience, and I’ve loved it so much that I’ve been lucky to do it 4 times! There’s nothing more valuable than knowing how to work with different kinds of people by stepping outside your own culture. It has inspired me to do my best to be a genuinely good person and live my best life.
