Studying in Germany
A week ago our class was given a presentation regarding an opportunity to study abroad in Germany. This course would take two weeks, and would count as 3 credits. The first thought that crossed my mind was that it would be great to get 3 credits done in 2 weeks but as I have thought about more I have began to see how this could give me so much more. I always wanted to study abroad but that was never a something that I realistically could do. When I first heard about the class I understood that the work load and time dedicated to class would probably limit the culture I could experience while I was their. After talking about the opportunity with a friend who wanted to go, I began to think maybe it would be a good idea to go a week early and experience a different country right before I went to class. If I was able to do this I could get my three credits, experience a different culture and learn about a new topic. I have always wanted to travel and see different perspectives around the world. Living in the United States I know I will have to work with people from many different places with different outlooks on life. Being able to go to another country will help me understand different people which I know will help me work better with people. Going abroad will not only give me an academic education but it will also teach me ways to interact with different people. This realization made me so much more confident in partaking in this program because I really believe the lesson I will learn will be priceless.
