I have been home from my semester abroad for a little over two weeks, and as I look back over the time and reflect upon the good and the bad I find it hard to believe that such an amazing experience has already come to an end. Living abroad for an extended period of time is challenging and at times very difficult, but the lessons I learned, experiences I had, people I met, and adventure I was able to have made the time well worth the sacrifice.
I missed home, I am glad to be back. But Morocco will now always be a special place for me, and Al Akhawayn a sort of second home that I recall with fond memories. I always encourage students interested in studying abroad to go for it, it is well worth the temporary leave from home to learn and grow as a global citizen.
Morocco, a beautiful country of contrasts and rich culture, I hope to someday return.
