Atlantis Experience Statistics
—————————————————————-
The blog is now complete. I have officially blogged literally EVERY SINGLE day (over 90+- with travel) of my experiences overseas. I must say that it was not an easy feat but it’s highly satisfying to know that I’ll have this for future references. I really hope that you can enjoy all of the pictures and blurbs that I put into this blog because I worked very hard on it. I want to thank everyone that was a part of this program especially Dr. Matt Germonprez for giving me this opportunity to succeed in a study abroad program and my parents for their never-ending support in all of my endeavors.
