My study abroad program has always been an integral part of what I desired from my overall college experience. It has been a strong desire of mine to be able to get out of the environment that I have always been in: being a student from the tri-state New York area surrounded by like-minded individuals, and venture out into a new learning environment. Deep down I sensed I was not getting the diversity that I would like, but a shared and similar viewpoint that was becoming worn. What I am looking for is a varied opinion from different sources whom have not had the same life experiences or group thinking that I have become accustomed to. Going to a university in another country such as England really positions me for personal growth and development. Studying with international students with different shared backgrounds and life experiences will give me a keen insight and help me to develop more as a person and young adult. This is just simply not available by spending four straight years at Emory University. …show more content…

Being in a new environment, country and on my own will be very important for my personal growth. I like the idea that I will now be forced to navigate a new country as well as make new decisions on my own; away from my family and certainly distanced from the comfortable confines of Emory University. This appeals to me because I am being put in a new situation where I am forced to truly live on my own. I have been raised by two supportive parents that have always made or strongly guided me to make decisions. While I am in England, those decisions are now made by me. I am the navigator of my journey and I like that feeling and

I have been surrounded by books all my life, that makes me one of the lucky ones as I developed an appreciation for books, information, and stories at an early age. Birthdays, Christmas, every holiday was an excuse for my grandfather or another relative to give me a book. My room contained multiple book shelves that needed frequent weeding, due to the lack of space for newer arrivals. I believed, due to my love of reading, that I was meant to become a writer, and some writing awards in my high school years supported that. However, four years of getting my Bachelor degree in English (with an emphasis in Creative Writing) only taught me that I love books and that I am an excellent tutor to my peers and children.

One very important lesson I’ve come to realize is that life is full of important changes and you must be willing to embrace them rather than reject them. Before applying to the University of Wisconsin there were two very necessary questions I had to ask myself, have I matured enough to value the change in my education and what kind of future do I want ahead of me? Of course there is no easy way to answer those two questions but after reflection I believe I have arrived to an answer that I was not able to prior. From my experience working after high school and my time at Hamline University, I’ve learned that value of my education. These experiences not only helped me learn a great deal about myself but bolstered my passion in the field of finance and accounting.

One of the things that I consider to be extremely important in the development of a person as an individual is experiencing new things in an unfamiliar environment. Studying abroad provides exactly that. Immersing yourself in a completely different country with a culture vastly different from your own is a key factor that influences how a person views the world. Before discovering the existence of the Gilman Scholarship program, I would have not been able to consider travelling abroad due to the scarce financial resources that a lower-middle class family in Puerto Rico has. I expect this experience to broaden my world view as an individual not just on a personal level but professionally as well.
