WHAT WAS YOUR FAVORITE CLASS WHILE ABROAD, AND WHY?
My favorite class while abroad was my "Dessin" class, which involved an abundance of drawing exercises and assignments to improve my accuracy and efficiency in drawing, especially when sketching Parisian architecture. This class resulted in so many beautiful drawings of the places I visited while abroad, and my drawing skills have improved greatly.
HOW DID YOU ENGAGE WITH THE LOCAL COMMUNITY WHILE ABROAD?
While studying abroad in Paris, I challenged myself to speak only French while communicating with locals. This started many relationships within my community. I had conversations with shop owners and cafe employees who were happy to let me practice my French, and many liked to practice their English in return. I knew the backstories of the staff at all my regular bakeries and cafes. This made me feel comfortable and at home within my community abroad.
