Ciao!! Mi chiamo Amy Cosgrove.
I am a senior Communications major, Business
minor at the U of A!
Last semester I had
the incredible opportunity to study abroad in Viterbo, Italy with USAC.
My freshman year I made a four year plan.
The top of my list read, “Study Abroad in
Italy!”
Although there were some
challenges nailing down the details and final plan, now I remember this
experience as the most incredible of my life.
Studying abroad allowed me the opportunity to have a total
immersion experience in Italian culture.
The program challenged me to develop unique new skills and pushed me out
of my comfort zone, which opened me up to a wide array of exciting
experiences.
Attending school in Italy
gave me the chance to focus on new friendships and develop a different
perspective on life.
One of the most touching experiences was
working with an Italian kindergarten class teaching English. I spent an hour
each week reading and playing games with them. Their favorite song was Head,
Shoulders, Knees and Toes.
Now as a peer advisor I can’t wait to share my love of
traveling with other students and get them started on crafting their own study
abroad adventure!!
