The chance to study abroad for two weeks in Puerto Rico is one of the most amazing opportunities I have ever encountered. Besides the fact that I will be receiving six hours of credit, I will be participating in courses which apply directly to my major. After I have completed these two classes, my experiences at OU will be finished and I will be graduated and moving into reality. I cannot think of a better way to end my four years at this university than in Puerto Rico.
I studied abroad in Italy for a semester last spring, which was incredible, but I was not able to take journalism classes, which was slightly disappointing. I have always had a passion for traveling and writing and I think combining the two will make the classes more of a hands-on learning than sitting in a classroom listening to a lecture. I am very interested in pursuing a career in travel writing once I graduate and this will be a huge addition to my abroad experiences.
I have never visited Puerto Rico, but I have learned that the capital, San Juan, is rich in culture, both Spanish and American, which is where I think we will be spending most of our time. I know I will leave the country with an enhanced view of the Spanish civilization and what it involves. I am very excited about the knowledge I will gain about the people and society of Puerto Rico. Since I have heard about this trip, I have been researching the country and trying to gain important facts which I must know on arrival.
Traveling is my most favored hobby, whether I am going throughout a state, country, or the world. The opportunity that has presented itself is so incredible. I feel so fortunate knowing that I may have the chance to embark on this amazing trip to Puerto Rico, all while gaining my last hours of credit while attending OU.
