Experiencing the culture abroad was unlike anything I have experienced before, and particularly the socio-political culture of France is what inspired me to pursue my minor in Politics as my second major instead. The involvement and participation of the average citizen in politics was incredible, and I was able to witness historic events such as the nationwide months of striking and protesting. The experience has truly changed the way I view politics in America as well, and I am on track to pursuing a career in international relations.
