I had such an amazing experience and will never forget the friendships I made or the memories that will last a lifetime. I called family members on the way back to Athens. I called my grandmother and told her all about my journey in Costa Rica and how it was such an amazing experience. I am truly lucky to have gotten to go on such a great trip! I called my grandmother and told her all about my trip. She was so excited for me and was glad I had told her I had made it safely back to the states! I was very fortunate to have my boyfriend pick me up from the airport and the whole ride home I wouldn&#8217;t shut up about my trip! I definitely considering going on another study abroad experience but just don&#8217;t know when I can go! I know that adding another experience adds on to my professional goals. I hope one day to incorporate the many lessons learned on my study abroad trips to my job. As the world gets more connected, I hope to be more understanding of other cultures. Getting to talk with small farmers first hand was a great insight into how the Ticos live! I am looking forward to possibly studying abroad in the future but for now I will have to reminisce on my trip and apply the knowledge gained. \u00a0I not only added to my professional experiences, I was also able to add personal gain. I am so glad to have grown more as a person on the trip as well as an educational leader.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/site.caes.uga.edu\/studyabroad\/files\/2015\/12\/group.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-1331\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1331\" src=\"https:\/\/site.caes.uga.edu\/studyabroad\/files\/2015\/12\/group-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"group\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/site.caes.uga.edu\/studyabroad\/files\/2015\/12\/group-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/site.caes.uga.edu\/studyabroad\/files\/2015\/12\/group-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/site.caes.uga.edu\/studyabroad\/files\/2015\/12\/group-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/site.caes.uga.edu\/studyabroad\/files\/2015\/12\/group-245x138.jpg 245w, https:\/\/site.caes.uga.edu\/studyabroad\/files\/2015\/12\/group.jpg 1328w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/site.caes.uga.edu\/studyabroad\/files\/2015\/12\/photo-6.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-1332\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1332\" src=\"https:\/\/site.caes.uga.edu\/studyabroad\/files\/2015\/12\/photo-6-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"photo 6\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/site.caes.uga.edu\/studyabroad\/files\/2015\/12\/photo-6-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/site.caes.uga.edu\/studyabroad\/files\/2015\/12\/photo-6-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/site.caes.uga.edu\/studyabroad\/files\/2015\/12\/photo-6.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/site.caes.uga.edu\/studyabroad\/files\/2015\/12\/photo-6-184x138.jpg 184w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Above are two pictures: The first of the 5 grad students who attended the trip!
