My Study Abroad Experience

The summer of 2017, I had gone on a study abroad program that had taken me to multiple cities in Ireland. This trip had a lot of firsts for me. It was my first time out of the country, it also was the first time I wasn’t traveling with any member of my family. And, of course, I was very nervous because of these facts. The day I was to leave for Ireland, I thought the whole plane ride: did I make the right choice, and what was going to happen once I had gotten there? Even though I wasn’t alone, I was with a group of people, but I didn’t know all of them that well, so it hadn’t helped my nerves at all.
