I
have never been out of the country, and I have a tendency to get
homesick. It stands to reason that I would definitely be nervous about
studying abroad, but I also couldn’t be more excited. This experience of
studying abroad in the United Arab Emirates will be a milestone in my
life, and a great opportunity. I have looked at and considered many
other schools, but whenever I imagine studying abroad I see myself
studying in the UAE. I want to immerse myself in a very different
culture, and I have developed an interest in Middle Eastern culture. I
also want to start learning Arabic language, and I’m so thrilled to have
the chance to learn in an Arabic country.
In
addition to unique learning experiences, I would like to explore the
UAE as much as I can. I know that safe travel may be limited in some
Middle Eastern areas as an American woman, but I don’t think that will
hinder my experience. There will still be ample opportunity to explore,
I’m sure. I would really like to travel out to the desert and ride
Arabian horses at some point while I’m there.
