I decided to go on the summer program in Germany as I saw it as a once in a lifetime opportunity, especially since I have never visited another country before, let alone another continent. I am hoping the decision to go on this trip will help me get a slight lead on my required academics for my degree, whatever concentration it may end up being. I always try to do most things with a sense of order and organization. However, I can mostly find myself rolling with the punches and going with the flow. I pray that this trip enriches my sense of independence and act as a good warmup for the semester ahead.
