Going to St. Petersburg has always been one of my dreams. I have always heard my family members talk about how great of a city and how beautiful it is but I have never had the chance to see it for myself. But now I have the opportunity to not only be able to see such a great city but also to further my education at the same time. Being an engineering major I see that there are nearly no summer study abroad programs that will be helpful to my major but me going to St. Petersburg doesn't really have anything with my major. Engineering in general is a complicated field, it requires you to do research, make presentations, and discuss complicated projects with your piers but sometimes your piers might now know English; what then? English isn't my 1st language, Russian is, and although Russian is my 1st it is also my worst. My Russian can be compared to that of a 6 year old because well, that is when I moved to the United States and stopped learning Russian. I am highly excited to be part of this abroad experience because I come from a Russian background and this experience will allow me to develop my Russian reading and writing skills. Knowing a different language is becoming a must if you wish to further advance your career in whatever field and I wish to learn the language if my ancestors. I see this study abroad program as an opportunity to finally give myself a better understanding of my native language as well as have the opportunity to experience a different culture.
