I don't have any specific vocational goals at the moment, but going abroad certainly can't hurt. The acquisition of experience speaking the Spanish language could make me a more attractive option for positions involving international business. Becoming a more well-rounded international citizen would also help me stand out in my future endeavors.

Getting involved in the community and campus is the easiest way to learn the new culture and adapt to your surroundings. i plan to get involved with multiple people from my classes as well as meet some players form the baseball team. living like a local means you do just that abandon your old ways and take on the new ones which allows you to get the full experience abroad. i plan on eating any and everything no matter how gross it may seem. i plan to adjust to the daily life such as certain times people do things including eating resting and playing! i make friends pretty easy and me being a international student will allow me to have an intriguing feel.

being a bigger university UPR will have vastly different classroom experience. Classroom attendance is recommended but not required. the class size will also being completely different, and friendships will be harder to make, but that will only strengthen my people skills as well as language skills. although i am studying abroad i still am technically in a part of the US so the credits are the same as MC. The same is true for grading since it is considered an american school the grading is the same.

I can deepen my understanding of the culture of Puerto rico fairly easy on this campus. With the simple use of google and my access to students and friends form Puerto rico as well as a Spanish teacher whho went to Puerto rico abroad as well I can learn culture from many different aspects and points of view. The world baseball classic is also a big help because of the strong presence of Puerto rican culture all over social media and television. I am very interested in the language, food, lifestyle, and rich history of the ultra-diverse island of Puerto rico. My own culture is also diversified and I bring along different language and different ways I go about things. I have yet to learn the ins and outs of the Spanish language, and I cant wait to get the opportunity!
