- Language proficiency -- Through living with a host family, interacting with locals, and attending intensive language courses, I will attain confidence and proficiency in countless topics.
- Personal growth -- I hope to learn as much about myself as I will about Germany, Freiburg, and Europe. I will gain independence by learning how to function fluidly in a foreign culture and environment, where I will inevitably be pushed out of my comfort zone.
- Make Europe my second home -- I want to feel like I have fully integrated German culture and history into myself.
- Make life-long friends and "family" abroad
- Discover my life's ambitions. Lately I've been really unsure of what career path I want to pursue. I've decided I definitely want to do something with my German, but I have yet to discover where exactly that will take me. Hopefully this year will open my eyes.
- Boost my resume and make me more desirable for a job
- Push myself out of my comfort zone and to be more social.
