In sum, this study abroad experience is one that has shaped my professional conduct and strengthened my research skills. This self-development is crucial for following internship opportunities I will be participating in Sacramento and Washington where my social and research skills will be used. Like the ANIP report, I will be required to conduct original research on a topic my internship host requires through poster presentations. My self-development professionally and socially are the attributes I wanted to get out of my study abroad program and I successfully achieved this. Now, I feel more confident in my abilities to adapt and thrive in new environments that I will encounter in my educational and professional path.
