I decided to sign up for this trip to Puerto Rico for several reasons. I have always wanted to study abroad during my time at OU, but I never had the opportunity. A semester abroad was too much time for me to be away from family and friends. Spending two weeks in Puerto Rico will give me a taste of what studying abroad is all about without having to be away for a semester. I almost minored in Spanish, so I definitely have a strong interest in the Spanish language and culture and I look forward to brushing up on my Spanish speaking skills during my stay in Puerto Rico.
Since I am a lover of the arts, I can’t wait to explore different art museums and learn about Puerto Rican artists in the area. But most of all, the thing that I am most excited about is immersing myself in the culture there and getting the most out of this trip as possible. I would much rather learn about a subject through a hands on experience and that is exactly what caught my eye about his trip. The fact that we are out exploring Puerto Rico and learning instead of sitting in a classroom all day really excites me. Writing is one of my passions. I write in a journal almost everyday, and so these course titles interested me as well. I look forward to traveling and exploring Puerto Rico with this group. This will be an experience that I will never forget and I will learn so much through this whole journey.

This sounds like the perfect opportunity for students who wish to study abroad, but just couldn't be away from home for months at a time. It will feel like you were there for only a few days when you come home, but will also be the most memorable trip of your life. Have so much fun and document everything!
