Paris in the Springtime
Perhaps my favourite memory of my time in Paris was
watching the Boston Pops,
Paris Philharmonic, and Andrea Bocelli perform beneath the Eiffel Tower.
This picture won First Place in the
IES Prize Winning Photos and Testimonials.
I had the time of my life while studying in Paris - making friends, speaking French, eating incredible French cuisine from my host mother, and even doing a tiny bit of travel. I was inspired to check this out from one of my favorite teachers ever, Mrs. Schoonover, who studied in France for 2 years. Since I had lived in Germany for 6 years and gained an appreciation for all of Europe at that time, I knew I'd love it in Paris. If you're at all interested in studying abroad, or just want to share in my experiences, I've collected a few of my pictures and written down some of my memories through which you can browse. And if you're interested, I also have up my schedule of everything that I did overseas.
