Home is on the Horizon

I landed yesterday, seemed to have been robbed of sleep at Athens airport, and I spent a semester in my life. I can hardly understand the fact that I have one month remaining in this plan. This semester is not easy, and I am often full of nostalgia, to be honest, this is the term of semester and personal growth semester.

When I arrived, I felt that I was forgotten in a little unknown culture and I could not understand the language at all. Now, almost three months later, I feel more comfortable in Athens, I try to talk to people working in the surrounding area (which always serves the Greek corner pavilion, basically a micro supermarket role) Please go to the US full of Greek information you can, otherwise I never know

The course I studied abroad covered countless diverse topics and offered me more diverse knowledge bases than I could get when I was in my hometown. Through field visits to the Greek economic crisis, the European Union's entire biodiversity and understanding of ruins around Athens, I feel that Arcadia firmly adheres to the slogan "Learn anytime anywhere." As part of my study abroad, I opened my eyes and began to take classes at every opportunity. It's not about the classroom all the time, it's definitely not about grades, but it's definitely about what you can take from the course

I think that this brought tremendous personal growth by foreign learning provided to me. My understanding of the world has dramatically increased, but my study abroad experience taught me a lot about accepting humility and mistakes. I can not understand everything, but studying in Athens surely brings further development of my knowledge.

It can not be said that this is the best or worst period, but it definitely takes a long time. The refugee crisis continues even in Europe, I want to provide aid to people in need, so I'm very pleased about where I took him last month. When I tried to end the CLC project, I was very happy that I became my position last month. Finally, I'm very happy to see where I went last month. I am doing my last academic trip to Corfu and another individual trip to Crete.

Today, I would like to talk about the tragedies of Europe. In a vast area, a huge group of suffering, hungry, tired, confused people rushed through the ruins of their towns and houses scanning the dark horizon. . Some new danger, tyranny or terror is close ... What is sovereign relief? ... We have to make America in Europe. When you visit Brussels' attractive "Parliament Building", there is a huge exhibition that shows the history of the European Union from the beginning to the present. I would like to deny this during referendum but there is no doubt that the people who experienced it believe that the unification of Europe is the only way to save us from the destruction of war. Despair is almost obvious

Many of us are afraid of the direction of the world. The extremist movement exerted severe violence on people. Due to the conflict and deprivation, the family must leave the house. Climate change has diminished our horizons. If we work together to find a solution, we know that humans only survive and prosper. But on the contrary, humanitarian values ​​are under attack - so we are overwhelmed, we do not know what to do and where to turn. The message of intolerance and hatred is the victim of our fears. Their story is about selfishness, separatism - distorted narrow world view. Little by little, this toxic hatred trend is rising around us, and the deep and important principle to maintain a peaceful society may be wiped out.

Frederick is my source of information. Edmond is for education. Seattle is home. Los Angeles is an opportunity to broaden your horizons. Do not go home. That will not be where we stand. It will not be the place to lower the roots. This is a time not worth a long time. I am sorry to know this. No, I just smile and grab the opportunity to enjoy the experience gained and the future moment.
