What impact did the study abroad program have on your life and future goals?

I feel that study abroad program has given me the confidence to do big things on my own. I used to second guess myself when it was time to make a big decision. But now I'm secure with every decision I make.

Has it been difficult without speaking German?

It's not difficult at all! Not knowing German. Everyone in Berlin understands and speaks English. But when instances come where there is a language barrier, I use my translator app.
