My experience in France was extremely enriching. The culture, the language, and the country have inspired me to continue my studies in learning and mastering the language. It has also helped me in understanding and accepting the different cultures and appreciate their uniqueness. This trip has helped strengthen me in the ways I feel about my own native tongue and culture, and I have grown to love them more than I ever thought I would. The history I learned on this trip has helped me get a sense of how France has developed as a country and all of the beauties it has within itself. The values the country carries shows me what they care most about. The people reminded me of the pride the country has. The school taught me of the emphasis France puts on education. The French students showed me what they care about most and their daily lives as teenagers in Europe. If anything, this exchange has pushed me to continue to indulge myself in trips such as these and to make myself uncomfortable because those are the true moments in which we learn the most.
