After going on this trip, I further realized how big the world can seem sometimes. Yes, there are so many times in my life where I get to say "small world" and laugh with the stranger I made a crazy connection with, but in reality this world has so much to offer, and I only know a tiny portion of it. I love traveling and learning about different cultures, and the more I do the more I am humbled by the reminder that I am just one person with one worldview in one culture, but there is so much around me to learn and see and do.

On this trip I learned time and time again that when comparing my own culture and worldview to others' around the world, there is no such thing as right and wrong. Different cultures bring different beautiful traditions, foods, languages, and so much more. Having the privilege to experience both Deaf culture, and French culture during this trip helped me to realize that all cultures are different in their own ways, and that is one of the most beautiful things that this world has to offer.

I do feel that this trip helped me to see the world through the eyes of people from different cultures. I enjoyed hearing about the ways that people from other cultures go about life including the hardships they have been through, and the beautiful things about their culture. This experience was a really enjoyable way to see the world through a different lens.

Before I went on this trip I was very nervous about trying to communicate with people who did not have English as their first language. Despite the fact that this trip was based on ASL, I did not feel the most confident about my ASL skills, and I was really nervous about communicating with our deaf tour guides. I have also never studied French, and I was very nervous about trying to communicate with the locals in France. However, this trip really did help me to feel comfortable communicating with people that may not have English as their first language, or may not know English at all. By the end of the trip I was so comfortable chatting with Himel and Darren, and I was no longer nervous when ordering at a restaurant or buying something at a shop. I learned that language is actually not the most important thing about communication.

I have always been eager to travel and learn as much as I can about cultures that are different from my own. In fact, the more I travel, the more this desire grows. After studying abroad in France, and learning so much about Deaf culture, I am even more interested in learning about new cultures, traveling to more countries, and expanding my worldview.

I find it to be a privilege to interact with people from cultures that are different from my own, and hear their stories. I think that there is something really special about people from different backgrounds coming together to learn from each other, and this trip confirmed those feelings even more.
