My first goal is to build meaningful personal and professional relationships while abroad. I am so used to being around Americans, so for once, I would like to learn how to adapt and appreciate a culture that is different from my through relationships.
My second goal is to learn to increase my level of independence and confidence abroad through research and seeking out local resources with my study abroad country. I am currently a commuter student living at home in the same state and city. I would like to get out of my comfort zone and learn how to live on my own as my future career will require me to travel or live abroad.
My third goal is to develop new academic and professional skills applicable to a global context. My campus involvement and academic skill while abroad set can help me with reaching those goals.
