Summers:
During the summer of 2008, I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to travel to foreign countries and absorb the culture, expanding my knowledge about the world around me. I traveled to London, England, and Paris, France. I am very much interested in European history, so i was delighted by this opportunity. In England, I visited Windsor Castle and Buckingham palace and learned more in-depth information about the royal family of England. I also visited the Princess Diana Memorial Gardens, which was a beautiful experience. In Paris, I explored the Louvre and Musee d'Orsay, two art museums with famous, classic paintings from every era of history. I took a day trip to the Palace of Versailles, and expanded my knowledge on the French Revolution and the Bourbon Restoration of the palace gardens. While in Paris, I took the opportunity to improve my French, and I was the designated translator for my group. This past summer, I hosted a foreign exchange student, from France, for one month, through the program Education First Home Exchange.<br>
