[Italian music]
Oprah Winfrey once said, "The biggest adventure you can ever take..."
"is to live the life of your dreams."
Here I was a student that never thought, in a million years,
I would get a chance to go outside of the country.
Yet, I dreamed about it everyday.
OU has allowed me to grow, not only as a professional,
but as an indvidual as well.
The International Programs gave me a chance to see the same monuments I saw in textbooks,
up close and personal.
I mean, here I am face-to-face with the very same images we saw pictures of as kids.
While abroad, I was able to make new friends,
see new things, and enjoy the great food.
Trust me, if you've never had a gelato, you will be in love with it by the time you leave Italy.
Everywhere you look, you feel as if you've stepped into a painting.
There is beautiful art and architecture everywhere.
It's so surreal.
I would encourage any student to take a chance and study abroad.
You will learn things about yourself, that no one else, and no other experience can teach you.
Yes, there will be things that you go through,
that challenges your day-to-day thinking,
but at the end of the day,
it's so worth it!
Ciao from Arezzo!
