It’s almost been two months here in Bremen for my high school abroad program in Germany! The time goes so quick, even though I’m doing normal daily things I would do back in Minnesota. Wake up; go to school; participate in extracurricular activities, etc. I notice though that I go to bed every day very tired, speaking a different language all the time even if you do feel comfortable with it is something that takes a lot of energy. Sitting in a biology class in the States would be stressful and confusing enough, now add in one of the most complicated languages and make me take a test, well you can guess the results aren’t spectacular. But one thing I have had to keep reminding myself about this experience is that I’m here to discover more about myself and not care what my grade is in biology. Taking a year abroad has taught me so much about how I deal with situations that appear in all of our lives.
There are plenty more lessons I have learned, but these are two that I’ve been learning the most about. Till next time I hope you’re having a good day!
