Location: Florence, Italy

Time Abroad: September 2005 - June 2006

Major: Art

Without the Cherrington Global Scholarship program, my amazing experience would have not been possible. The scholarship program help out with airfare, which was so integral for the whole trip. I did not think that my study abroad could be made possible because of certain family responsibilities.

What I experienced in Florence, Italy was nothing short of amazing. Some of the best and worst experiences of my life regarding travel, money, and cultural barriers. This, I realized, is part of the whole experience. In a new, unknown place everyday is not going to be perfect but you appreciate every second. I had some of the happiest experiences of my life as well and I would never trade one second of my time that I spent abroad.

Thank you Cherrington Global Scholars for making this possible.
