It’s funny the different emotions felt during a study abroad experience. The first few days, you’re wondering if this experience is really meant for you and if you truly made the right decision. Weeks later, you begin to become more excited about being in a totally new and exciting environment while continuing to adjust. After a month, you feel yourself developing as an individual, while appreciating each moment. I have learned so much in the time spent here thus far. The Dominican Republic is a great country with a rich culture. The people here are extremely nice and don’t mind taking the time to have a conversation. Life is simple, but meaningful. Some places are breath-taking not to mention the incrediable beaches. Sometimes I catch myself daydreaming of just how grateful I am to be here. I couldn’t be more content with my decision to study abroad. It is definitely shaping my college years and I wouldn’t trade this experience for anything except more time!
