In high school, I went on a study abroad trip to Costa Rica into my senior year. This trip was for about 8 days in the summer after the school year was over. Two of the Spanish teachers at my school attended the trip and it was such a great experience. Costa Rica was such a beautiful country and I enjoyed doing activities such as hiking, zip-lining, dancing and eating the country’s delicious food.

I have also participated in international events in my high school because my high school was known as one of the schools with the most international students. These events mostly included games, music and food from hispanic countries. These events were to appreciate the cultures that our school had and to celebrate everyone coming from different backgrounds.
