My Spain experience

This month of studying abroad was honestly the best decision I have ever made. I never would have thought that at 15 years old I would be alone in Spain for a month. At first I was very homesick and I hadn’t adjusted well, but once we started school and met friends I knew it was going to be an amazing experience. When we all met up for the first time I thought it was going to be hard to make friends, but it was the complete opposite. Everyone was so friendly and we all clicked instantly! I was very nervous going into school because I thought it was going to be very hard and stressful. But, Candela made sure we were all on the same level and always had a fun and interactive lesson plan for us. Candela made me enjoy learning Spanish and made me want to come to class every day. Coming to Spain knowing little Spanish was definitely a struggle when interacting with my host family but it got easier over time. One thing I would fully recommend is going out at night. It was definitely my favorite part of the trip, especially staying out late on Friday nights. It was a really good opportunity to bond with the other students and even meet the locals. Overall I would say this was a life changing experience and I would come again!
