I really enjoyed my time abroad. By far my favorite place we visited was Holland. I fell in love with every city we visited. I enjoyed exploring the museums and immersing myself in the Dutch culture. Having Dr. Oberman to guide us was especially exciting. Her love of her country was very clear and spread to the rest of the class as well. We spent several days wandering around Amsterdam going from museum to museum. One day we even visited a cat sanctuary on a boat! There is so much to do in Holland that I think I could spend years there. Even something as simple as renting a boat in Leiden was one of my favorite memories.
In high school, I studied a lot of philosophy. At the time, I disliked discussing any type of political or governmental philosophy. As a young student, I felt that I had no expertise or experience on the subject and could not truly understand the differences between varying societal policies. However, as I traveled through these different countries I felt that I gained a much more in-depth understanding how government legislation affects the day to day life of a country.
