The most important thing I have learned about myself on this study abroad has been how vital mindset is to an experience. In life, the most important this is our mindset and what we focus on. Half of any battle is mind over matter, and I think it is something worth thinking about daily. Some things might be tough to work around or conquer, but everything always works out!
I learned that the global leadership and CQ are extremely important in daily interactions no matter where you are. It is intriguing to learn how others cultures work and how we are intertwined. I have liked focusing on how we are all connected at the core, but have different paths to get there.
I loved going abroad with the people I met! It is so fun to plan your weekends and explore different places. I totally recommend maxing out your weekends trips because you are doing class most of the week. We went to Colmar, Heidelberg, and zip lining in the Alsace region the first weekend. Salzburg, Austria the second weekend, which was incredible. We paragliding and explored in Interlaken, Switzerland for the third trip. Make so many friends and make the best out of every single moment!
Life is what you make it- so make it the best it can be!! Weekend trips, late night talks, and mid day coffees were such an amazing part. The friends I’ve made on this trip have been incredible and truly influential.
