Leaving the U.S for the first time, I arrived in Urbino, Italy, initially hesitant. However, connecting with a diverse and inspiring group of fellow students transformed my uncertainty into a deep sense of belonging and excitement. The experiences we shared, combined with the exploring of the rich Italian culture and the opportunity to practice digital video production and the art of story telling, turned this journey into an unforgettable experience. I’m grateful for these connections and the newfound perspective they’ve sparked, it has made this once daunting prospect one of the best decisions of my life, and one I dont think ill ever forget.
