PROMPT: WHAT ARE YOUR EXPECTATIONS AND GOALS FOR STUDYING ABROAD IN FLORENCE, ITALY? (400 WORDS) FALL SEMESTER 2020
THOUGHTS
An opportunity to explore a country that I was first introduced to in Cornelia Funke’s book, The Thief Lord.
This will be my first time really living independently and far away from home.
I will be studying my business major in a rich cultural environment with close access and exposure to other European influences and economies.
Italy has a long history of family run businesses and relationship-oriented practices. I’d like to learn more about how this has shaped modern-day corporate success.
How does being a leader in the arts, architecture, fashion, and food affect the Italian economy?
I love Italian food and would like to learn about it. How can I prepare it on my own?
