Post departure reflection

The first thing I saw when I got to Nice was a sign. The sign had my name written on it and an Abbey Road logo on the bottom. I'd never had a sign held up for me and i felt like a VIP. I knew at that moment that my summer was going to be awesome, and of course, it was.  After meeting with the group I just took a seat started talking to people. I don't know if it was luck or what because those very people ended up being my best friends on the trip. The French classes and electives were great and I feel I learned a lot. The exursions every weekend were amazing! In no other situation would I have been able to visit so many places along the french riveria. There was a perfect balance of studying and fun. However, the opportunity to meet people from all over the country as well as the world was the best part of the trip for me. I made friends that i know I will stay in touch with forever. Going on Abbey Road's Nice program was one of the best decisions I've ever made as well as one of the best experiences of my life.
