Howdy & Welcome
I am excited to experience school and life in a new culture. It will be interesting to see the similarities and differences between my life here in Texas and in Germany. While the new environment is what I am most excited for, I also think it could be the most challenging aspect of the trip as well. Learning how to use public transportation in a new place without knowing the language will be a challenge.
I think many people see Americans as unwilling to learn about other cultures. However, I am very excited to experience the German culture and learn all there is to know about the people and places there. Something about me that may surprise you is that I love to bake sourdough bread and many other recipes. Besides excitement and a little bit of fear, I am feeling nervous about navigating the new culture and environment.
I would like to learn about how the healthcare system in Germany came to be and how it operates now in comparison to the American healthcare system. I know I will learn so much during this study abroad and I cannot wait!
Howdy Rebekah! I am totally with you on the nervous feelings towards getting used to the travel/transportation aspect of the trip. There are so many unknowns it is only fair to be nervous and excited!! That is so awesome you can make sourdough I am going to definetely need that recipe as well as any other baking tips and tricks you obtain. Cannot wait to make memories with you in Germany!!
ReplyDeleteI hope you get to cook/bake with your host family! That could be a great way to connect. 💚
ReplyDeleteI am also nervous about using a new public transportation system in a country where I am not fluent in their language. However, I know by the end of our time we are going to know it so well, as well as so much more! I too am very excited to learn about their healthcare and compare it to ours in the United States, I think that is going to be very interesting.
