WHAT'S ONE STORY OR IMPORTANT ASPECT YOU ALWAYS TELL PEOPLE ABOUT YOUR TIME ABROAD?
Every time I see someone waste food or don’t finish their food I tell them about how Costa Rica doesn’t provide to go plates. This is one story I always tell people about when I studied abroad is that in Costa Rica food doesn’t get wasted. They don’t provide to go plates because they care a lot about the environment.

WHAT WAS YOUR FAVORITE CLASS WHILE ABROAD, AND WHY?
My favorite class while studying abroad was the medical Spanish class. I enjoyed this class because I took 4 years of Spanish in high school, but I never learned the terms in this class in highschool. It was also cool to see theses terms used in the hospital when I was shadowing.
