Studying abroad has long been a dream of mine, but it was a sort of daydream: it seemed like something grand that happened to others, but not to me. This all changed last year, when I won the Hurley Scholarship and decided to spend the summer in London with a program called USAC.
As the time approached, I was filled with excitement and apprehension in equal measure. To be absolutely honest, there was some part of me that — up until I stepped on the plane in Greensboro — was uncertain whether I’d be brave enough to do it at all.
