What were the most significant take-aways from your experience?

My most significant take-aways from my experience were the memories from the places we visited, the plays we watched, and the people I met. Nothing can beat the immersive experience of being in a whole other country, learning about another culture, and making memories that will last a lifetime.

How did the experience impact you and your future educational/career/personal goals?
|
This trip opened my eyes to how much I can learn in a hands on setting. By being able to see the places that I was learning about in a classroom, I was really able to better understand and develop an appreciation for the subject being taught. Having said that, as I continue my education and later on a career, I'll try to keep in mind to always look for a hands on learning opportunity so that I can further my knowledge and understanding of the subject or job in which I am dealing with.
