Italia- That's Amore! Past Review

Florence School of Fine Arts: Florence - Semester, Summer and Short-Term Courses

What did you gain/learn from your experience abroad? Was it worthwhile?

I learned that I can be flexible and adaptable. After being evacuated out of Egypt I had to throw out months of planning and do what I had to do. I'm hoping to go back abroad to finish what I started. Now that I've been to other countries, my list of things to do has been multiplied by millions!
