I am so excited to go. I am going to travel to Morocco with my family for a few weeks before the program start date, and I absolutely cannot wait. What I hope to gain from my entire Moroccan experience is more substance for me as a person. What I mean by that is, I want to have an experience that adds to my character, to my general knowledge of the world, to my knowledge of the language, to my understanding of completely different cultures! I realize it may seem like that might be asking a lot from 2 months of classes over there, but I truly want to dedicate myself to making the absolute most I can of my time there. These past few months have been very hard for me for several reasons, but what has kept me going the most is knowing that I am about to have an amazing, life- changing experience that I am truly looking forward to. I know that if I get my hopes up too high, disappointment is practically inevitable, but I just want something different. I just know that I have had more than enough of Worcester, Massachusetts, and that I am ready to go away and study something that sparks my passion for learning again! I hope that being in Morocco will expose me to a different culture, different food, different PEOPLE! I love meeting new people! I can’t wait to make Moroccan friends! I am ready for whatever Morocco has to give me, and to let this experience enrich my life forever.
