"I provide a different perspective during class discussions, as americans we can't see past our own backyards, not everything revolves around us. It was like being in another world or this one but at a different time. I don't really think there is a future for me in Italy bt I'm going to keep looking around maybe some other coutr..."

"It as impacted my awareness so much more. To be over in England really helps to understand the people better and what they do, you learn history. I became more interactive with the world.
