Coming Home
I dont know if I could pick one stand alone memory from this entire trip, but if I had to I would pick the last night that I really hung out with my three best friends from this trip. I couldnt get the picture to upload, but one night my friends and I stood outside of the train station in Angers, put a camera on self-timer, and took about 45 picutures of us together, jumping up and down. For me, in a nonacademic sense, this experience was worth it when I met these girls because they have changed my life, just like this experience has. I have learned so much French while in France and its still shocking that its over, but more so I have grown as a person
I think that any study abroad experiences are extremely beneficial in a non-academic sense because as much as I have grown in my french speaking skills, I have grown as a person just as much or even more. And that is an amazing thing. I will never forget this experience and all that I have learned from it, academic and non academic.
