Abstract
In all my years of life, I’ve taken what I’ve learned and my various experiences to develop what I believe are fundamental truths. One of these, is my belief that education and the develop of knowledge is the key to success. If there’s one thing I know, it's the value of education and learning new things. The reason i even chose to go to a school so far away from home, was so that I could meet new people, with new perspectives, ideas, cultures, and beliefs. In my opinion, broadening your worldview is a critical aspect of life and can be beneficial to aspects of one’s life. One of the best ways to gain these new experiences and perspectives is to go abroad. When I decided that I would be minoring in italian, it became a main goal of my to be able to go to italy in the hope of furthering myself on my educational journey. For my STEP Signature project, i will be traveling to Siena Italy to participate in a four week long, intensive and immerse language program. For about a month’s time, I will take classes in italian, live with an italian family, and participate in service projects in order to help build the community I’ll be staying in. My hope is that this experience will not only be beneficial to expand the knowledge i currently have, but will resonate with me and take be further in life in terms of my lifelong goals and career aspirations.
