"I studied abroad in Valparaiso, Chile for my final semester of college. I took classes at one of the Universities, volunteered teaching English at an elementary school and traveled to different parts of the country in my free time. It was the most incredible and humbling experience of my college career. I had hoped to improve my Spanish speaking skills but gained so much more than I ever could have imagined. I'll return to the US with many fond memories and a new view of the world and life."
