My sister studied abroad for two semesters and was almost given the opportunity to travel abroad for graduate school when she was a finalist for the Fulbright Scholarship. It is not that I want to follow in my sister's footsteps, per-say, I just saw how much it changed her life for the better to see the world. I have traveled before because I am fortunate enough to have dual citizenship of America and England, so I have traveled to Europe twice.
Even with all of my travels, I was very young both times I went to England and saw what I guess is one of my "homelands." I traveled there when I was 4 and 15. During those times, I was not really interested in fully taking in the atmosphere, one because during one trip I was only months out of being a toddler, and the second time I was going through my freshman year of high school that was not the best year for me. Now I am older, wiser, and just a TINY bit more confident in myself. (; Therefore, I want to study abroad in London, England and hopefully work BBC America, their biggest broadcasting company.
I believe that if I go back to study abroad in England, I will truly be open to learn during my studies, and also all about myself. My whole entire family is over there, so I would be surrounded by culture and hopefully, I would be able to figure out even more about where my mum came from.
I have done much thought about studying abroad, and I think I will either go the end of sophomore year next year or during the summer for a Maymester. I know most people study during their junior years, but it is my goal to hold a leadership position in my sorority and that would require me to live in the house my junior year.
I am so happy to attend a school that offers such wonderful opportunities, and I hope to take advantage of them very soon!
