I am a senior at Loyola Marymount University, majoring in Sociology with a minor in Business Administration. Although I have traveled to numerous countries throughout the world such as England, Germany, France, the Philippines, and Mexico, I just recently returned from studying abroad for a semester in Beijing, China. I thought that studying abroad my senior year would be difficult because a lot of events occur during this time, but I found that, regardless, studying abroad was a worthwhile experience. Due to my study abroad experience, I am interested in traveling more around the world, meeting people from different countries, and exploring worldwide issues that affect us today. Studying abroad in China was one of the best experiences in my lifetime.
