Overall Reflection


These two weeks have been a roller coaster ride, but it has been one of the best roller coaster rides of my life. To be able to go to totally new places and experience totally new cultures with fifteen awesome people was nothing short of spectacular.
            Before last semester, I had never really thought of education as something I was interested in. And while my career plans of being a journalist have not changed, education is in the back of my brain as a curiosity of mine. I took a course on educational policy history last semester and I saw how outdated and inefficient our system in the US can be. Now that I have seen other systems firsthand, I know that to be true and the system in America can certainly use some of the lessons we learned overseas.
            Amsterdam was my favorite city. Not only was it beautiful between the architecture and the water, the culture was something unlike anything I had ever seen. It was both fun and educational.
            Still, I loved each and every city I visited and I hope to come back sometime soon. Maybe I won’t have to stay in a hostel in Brussels next time.
