Goodbye Seoul, South Korea!

Hello!

I am now back home and feeling much better. All I can say is that I already miss South Korea: its people, the food, the streets, the safety… but mostly the coffee shops! I am really glad I got to spend six weeks studying in Seoul. It was a great experience that helped me grow as a person. I now feel more confident, independent, open-minded, and optimistic towards myself and others. I hope to encourage more students to study abroad and maybe one day I will be able to help them financially.

Thanks to everyone who contributes to the Fund for Education Abroad Scholarship. I have now completed one of my biggest dreams and it was thanks to you.

Thank you and wish me luck,

Aurora Torres
