My experience abroad gave me the opportunity to further strengthen my relationship with my heritage. My family is originally from Guatemala and I began learning Spanish at a very early age due to my grandparents only knowing that language. Beofre studying abroad in Spain, I have never lived in a country where the majority of people have features similar to my own and a country whose first language is Spanish. I was given the opportunity to connect further with my heritage and also notice all the differences between the American and Latin European cultures. Studying abroad has become one of my most cherished life experiences I have had and I hope to continue travelling the world. I absolutely loved the experience and it was so awesome seeing my peers experience the culture that was so familiar to me already. ​
