Madison – B.S. Animal Science

One of the biggest personal impacts from my experience was socially and emotionally. Through this experience, I learned how to let go and be myself again. College is often a time of stress and social pressure to be someone you aren’t, but through this experience, I learned to embrace who I am and enjoy being in the moment without fear of judgement. My parents throughout the program have been commenting on the fact that I look genuinely happy in all of my photos since arriving which hasn’t been the case for a while. This is something I hope will continue once I return and will stay with me the rest of my life.
