I made the best decision of my life when I chose to study abroad in Morocco the spring of my sophomore year. 这是我第一次离开美国.S.我找不到比这更好的地方了. 摩洛哥是一个文化丰富的国家, 善良和惊人的机会正等着你去把握. Some of my favorite memories came from exploring the sunny city of Tangier with my friends, 在麦地那购物, 在当地孤儿院做志愿者. When you live alongside people that do not speak the same language as yourself, 你学会了如何用新的方式交流. 我们的阿拉伯语水平越来越高，他们的英语却很蹩脚, my friends and I found shared languages with the people of Morocco in hand gestures, 面部表情和捧腹大笑. 我们从这些咖啡馆的经历中学到了更多, taxis and hanoots than we could have ever learned from sitting inside a classroom.

Studying took place outside of the university and brought us to places we had only seen before in pictures. We went on many excursions throughout Morocco and 西班牙 and were even able to organize our own trips as well. One of my favorite trips we planned was to the Sahara Desert. After traveling hours by an overnight train to Marrakech and even more hours by van through the Atlas Mountains, we arrived in the afternoon to an endless landscape of golden sand. We all took turns sandboarding down the dunes before we watched the sun set over the desert. Sitting atop a towering sand dune below a pink sky made me feel as if I was on a different planet. This experience was one of the many times my decision to go to Morocco was reinforced and I knew I was exactly where I was supposed to be. Studying abroad offered me more than I could have imagined and shaped me into the person I am today. I’ll never forget the memories I shared with the students who became friends that became family during my time in Morocco.
