Though at times I would change my mind on where to study abroad, I kept coming back to London as I love the hustle and bustle of the city as well as all of its history. I am excited to become more independent and to gain professional skills while having an internship during my time here. However, this is also what scares me the most. I think it will be a big adjustment living in a foreign city, going to classes in a whole new environment, and starting an internship and immersing myself in a foreign professional setting. I am looking forward to getting a new perspective in the work force as well as become more skillful in my areas of interest and cannot wait to take advantage of this unique opportunity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; I am grateful that Rollins has\npushed study abroad so much as it was an easier decision to make since hearing\nsuch great experiences from friends who studied abroad. I feel as though this\nexperience is truly what it means to be a global citizen and responsible leader\nas I wish to travel and learn by navigating new territories and growing from\nnew experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; One of the identities I put down\nwhile applying for the study abroad program is <em>student<\/em>. I am excited to take the role of being a student outside\nof the classroom. Being a student means that I am excited to learn new things\nand reflect on them. I hope to do this by learning from new professors in a new\nenvironment with students who come from all different backgrounds and colleges\nas well as through exploring London and other places in Europe, and through\nworking with new co-workers in a new professional setting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Though studying abroad is nerve\nracking, I am so excited to learn more about myself through these once in a\nlife time experiences and hope to return with greater perspectives and\nexperiences that can help me in the future both professionally and culturally. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>by ESEIDEN&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; When I came to Rollins I always knew I wanted to study abroad and had my heart set on London.
