Study abroad experience opens up your future possibilities
I studied abroad at Roanoke College in Virginia, U.S. Since I wanted to enhance my academic interests, I chose Roanoke College which serves liberal arts education. In addition to taking classes within my academic interests, I took an Education Studies class, which I didn’t have much interest in at first. I really struggled to prepare for and speak up during classes. However, I had chances to visit local elementary schools during my Education Studies class. This experience got me interested in learning about inequalities between races in American society. After studying abroad, I joined a seminar to learn about American society, specifically focusing on the Civil Rights movements. Studying abroad not only enhanced my academic interests, but also broadened other areas that I want to get involved in with my future career. I hope you have wonderful experiences studying abroad and during your college life.
