In these past 9 months in Malaga my life has changed greatly. I would have never thought that spending a year abroad would have changed me this much. Now looking back to that first day in Malaga and remembering the amount of initial difficulty I had when I first arrived here, it is almost unbelievable that nine months have passed since then. It is easy to only say that my Spanish has improved greatly but it is not so easy to admit that life abroad has changed as a person. The classes that I have taken here have made me see a lot of different things that I would not have been able to see other wise and the people that I have met have taught me many things both about Spain and about myself in general. As we slowly reach the end of this adventure I find myself realizing that I will miss Malaga greatly. Not only for the great memories that I will leave here with but also with the knowledge of having had the opportunity to grow and mature in the best possible way.
My host family was everything I could ask for and more. They welcomed me with open arms and were not afraid to correct my Spanish when I did make mistakes. As time went on I started to miss home more and more but my Malaguenan host-family slowly became an extension of my real family. The friendships that I have made while being here in Malaga are friendships that I hope will last forever. The constant support I have received will never be forgotten and will be forever in my heart. Even if the time left in Malaga is a short one, I really do hope to enjoy the rest of it to the fullest. I hope that each and every one of my fellow peers will do the same, even in hard times. These next few weeks will go by really fast but I do hope that I will leave here with a new-found attitude regarding life in general.
As for right now, all I do is thank everyone that made this unforgettable experience possible.
