Time sure flies by! This journey was a lot of fun for me. Writing posts and trying to describe my experience in as much detail as possible made me pay more attention to what I felt and thought. Montevideo has become one of my favorite cities out of all the places I have been to. I hope that love and excitement for discovery inspired you to start your own adventures, too.
These past few weeks, I have been trying to fit in all the plans I had for this semester. I went to a popular music concert with a friend, and I also went to the beach at Punta del Este. The difference between the beach in Montevideo and the one in Punta was astonishing. I loved how the water was more clear. However, what I will miss the most is definitely the people I made those memories with. I hope you all get the chance to travel, talk to new people and discover beautiful things you did not know of before.
If you are interested in studying abroad during high school, I recommend checking out United World College (UWC) USA. This organization provides amazing scholarships for students that want to make the world a better place and learn more from other cultures. If you prefer to study abroad during your college life, the Gilman International Scholarship is a great resource to apply for.
