Summer 2013 I did the Semester At Sea study abroad program. Through this program I took three classes on the ship while traveling to ten different countries around the Mediterranean. I was able to adapt to the many cultures and environments I was introduced to. This experience allowed me to see the world in a different way and taught me to be open to all.
