Submitted by Elizabeth deBruin on the 2019 winter session study abroad program in Italy sponsored by the Department of Art…
This past month spent studying abroad, I have felt more in touch with my inner person than ever before in my entire life. Despite the fact that I am taking art classes, which is something I have never done before, and in a city that I have never been in before, with people that I did not know before…I have somehow learned more about myself than any other time in my life prior to this program. I feel like I have learned to build meaningful relationships with so many people, and learned how to live in the moment. I have learned to immerse myself entirely in the moment of things, and try to be in the present moment entirely. I have learned to notice the small little things, and really be able to take it all in. Thank you to this scholarship, and the University of Delaware for this amazing opportunity.
