Comming Home
I have lots of great memories from my semester abroad. Perhaps one of my fondest memories of Cologne is the Sunday that I went to the stadium to see a soccer game with my host family, went to a youth mass, after which the priest invited the attendees to go to the bar with him, and then for dinner that evening my host family and I ate stuffed pig’s stomach. Soccer, beer with a priest after church, and pig’s stomach: a winning combination.
The things that I learned outside of the classroom will be more helpful to me in the long-run. After completing my program in Cologne, I have become a more independent, responsible, adaptable, and open person.
