WHAT WAS YOUR FAVORITE CLASS WHILE ABROAD AND WHY?
My favorite class from studying abroad was international marketing. I felt that this class really enhanced my knowledge in the international business world because we talked so much about marketing in Europe. My marketing classes back at home were always specific to U.S. markets, so it was very interesting for me learning about how differently other parts of the world work in a marketing sense.

WHAT'S ONE STORY YOU ALWAYS SHARE ABOUT YOUR TIME ABROAD?
One time when I was leaving the supermarket there was an older woman struggling to carry heavy grocery bags, so I approached her and offered her help. She accepted my help, and I carried some bags with her to her apartment a few blocks down. We spoke Spanish together and it felt like we had started a mini friendship. She was so thankful for my help, and in that moment, I felt like I really was part of the local community.
