Everyone has different types of identities,\nand I believe that changes in our lives also change our identities. In my\napplication to study abroad, I referred to myself as a young adult, women and a\ncollege student who is seeking to experience new things throughout college life\nand life ahead. Studying for a semester in Rome is a huge change from the daily\nlife and environment that I am used to at Rollins. Being from a Latin American\ncountry and being an international student in Rollins basically identifies me\nas a student who is already abroad, but I believe that having abroad experiences\nisn\u2019t just once in a lifetime. I am passionate about learning new things\nthrough different experiences like meeting new people, new cultures, new\nideologies, new places, etc. I am also looking forward to change or adapt my\nidentities to new people and a totally different culture. In Rome, I not only\naspire to using my identities to connect with others, but also to teach others\nas well as me learning from them. When interacting with other cultures, there\nmay be culture shock, and this is totally normal. I am pretty sure that\neveryone experiences it at some point in their lives, which I have already many\ntimes, so I am looking forward to looking how my identities will differ from\nothers\u2019 identities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I identify myself as a student who is growing and gains knowledge every single day, and with this awesome opportunity and experience in Rome, I aspire to learn even more, especially with the different classes that I am taking for my major and the ones that aren\u2019t (like Italian language for example). I believe that with my past experiences and the different things I have been through and learned in my life as an international student and the different traveling I have done I will be able to use it as a tool to have an awesome semester abroad to meet new people, new cultures, other identities, new places, etc. Also, it will make me an even more mature student and young adult, making myself more independent and readier to face fears and defeat them. \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
