Sevilla: Experience that will never leave you Past Review
By sandra p (Public Relations, Advertising, and Applied Communication., The University of Texas at Austin) for
CIEE: Seville - International Business & Culture
What did you gain/learn from your experience abroad? Was it worthwhile?
my cultural awareness and confidence grew exponentially. I am more confident and excited to travel the world and learn more. I don't feel like I have to stay in my little bubble in Texas any more. I know there is so much more out there that I can explore.
