"Living and studying in Morocco has redefined my entire identity in complex ways. Although I am still trying to find my purpose, I see deeper meanings to myself. I am a stronger person by far, and by taking this chance to study abroad in a country I was not familiar with, I have grown exponentially in ways I could not imagine. I understand and appreciate Islam and Moroccan culture through a new lens. Morocco has made me a tougher and kinder person at the same time."

"I was a minority back in the States, Hispanic, and I am still a minority here, but the difference is that in Chicago I would walk for five minutes and see another Hispanic person, and here I can go days without seeing another American let alone another Hispanic person. That was something that took a while to get used to."
