The University of Nebraska at Kearney study abroad program offers an exceedingly amount of incredible options of places to study while being a UNK student. While it is my goal to visit as many of these places in the world as possible before I die, it is no question why I chose the Czech Republic program first. First and foremost, my family heritage comes from the Czech Republic. My great aunt recently took a college ancestry class where she did extensive research on where my family emigrated from. It was found that my family came from the Czech Republic in the 19th century in search for some land and freedom which ultimately led them to Nebraska.

There is an old Moorish proverb that reads, “He who does not travel, does not know the value of man.” That quote resonates deep within me because I have a yearning to use my education to empower those in need.

I fell in love with the German language about four years ago, when I started taking German language classes my freshman year of high school.

I absolutely loved them and wanted to have the ability to read the original stories, which are all written in German. I also think the German language is important because Germany is such an important country in the world. I began to learn German while living in Virginia, but had no idea that I would be leaving after only two years of living there.
