December 17-

As this week winds down as my last week in Morocco, I would like to express some final thoughts.  When I first came to Morocco, I did not know what to expect in all honesty.  So luckily I was able to experience Morocco with a clean slate.  Over the months that I spent living and studying in Morocco, I have had a wonderful and amazing cultural experience.  I was able to observe and experience a cultural that is different from the Western one that I am so used to.  I feel very grateful for having the opportunity of being able to experience different traditions.  The primary reason of why I chose to study abroad in Morocco instead of a Western/European country is because I wanted to experience something different that could put me out of my comfort zone.  I also wanted to continue my study of the Arabic language, which I believe has improved since first arriving in Morocco.  The best way of truly improving in a language is to live in a country that speaks that language.  I look forward to learning from my experiences in Morocco and continuing my study of Arabic back in the United States.
