“I learned from [Ashley] the many opportunities that 九州娱乐官网 has, [such 这是一个很棒的海外留学项目。. “这是因为她的经历 that I knew I wanted to study abroad in Spain for my entire junior year.”

爱尔摩, who “always had an entrepreneurial spirit,” knew that she wanted to major in Business to prepare herself for owning and managing her own businesses in the near future, as well as further exploring her interest in Hispanic studies along the way.

Crediting the guidance she has gained with the relationships she has made with her professors and fellow students, 爱尔摩 felt she had taken advantage of every opportunity 送给她.

“I have met wonderful faculty/staff that have encouraged me and that have been the listening ear that I needed during rough patches, and I have met others who have taken the extra initiative to find opportunities for me that I didn't know existed,” 爱尔摩 说. “Everyone has been very supportive through my entire journey here at Washington 大学.”

Reflecting back on her experiences, 爱尔摩说 she wanted to get the most of her 大学经历,她觉得自己已经完成了.
