I'd Bett-en-court that any future students will love global.
I know I won't find another experience quite like the one I found through this program and I'm gonna miss it as well as my new family. It has changed me for the better and I don't regret a single moment.

Why did you choose to do Global?
Both my brother and sister had already done Global so I knew that the program was a great opportunity that I didn’t want to miss out on!
How has Global changed you?
Global has changed me for the better! Better as in a better student, a better person and a better Global citizen.
Favourite memory?
Although I expect to make many more favourite memories in Germany, my favourite memories so far are from Cuba. In Cuba I got to take part in many life changing experiences and I got to spend them all with my amazing Cuban partner Mari. Mari was so kind and funny, and she always helped me ask in Spanish if I could pet people’s dogs.
What would you tell future Global students?
I would tell them that even though the workload is large and an important part of the program, try not to get too overwhelmed by it because you don’t want to miss out on the incredible moments you get to share as a Global family.

Goals After Global.
My goal after Global is to become a more critical thinker, and use the newfound perspective I have developed to do what I can to stop world issues that interest me.
