Benefits of Studying Abroad

When I was dropped off by my parents in Dublin, it definitely felt like I had a huge mountain ahead of me. The college had messed up my enrollment and placed me in the wrong classes, my accommodations were messed up as well since the building completion date was delayed, and I was going to have to figure out how to manage my immigration and Irish bank accounts. It was a lot all at once and to say that I was not overwhelmed or panicked is a major lie. But slowly, I tackled each bit one by one. First, I moved into my accommodations with the help of a pastor and his wife in Dublin, then after two weeks of countless emails, my German professors stepped in big time and got the Academic Registry and Enrollment offices to fix my situation, then I managed to do all of my immigration on my own! After successfully accomplishing all these tasks while still having schoolwork, I was pretty proud of myself. Then, in my second semester, I had to deal with a stolen computer, and the possibility of a stolen bank account all while school was in session. After handling all those situations I know that I came back from Dublin more confident in myself. <a href="https://medium.com/@sofia.ale.medina/benefits-of-studying-abroad-90248a57efe1">Website</a>
