I am nowhere near fluent in French, but I can successfully do the following things: get and give directions, go on dates, conduct interviews for research, take classes, talk about people with my sisters, forge close friendships, and discuss politics.
I also met a lot of really amazing people, and became incorporated into a beautiful and loving family.
The worst illness I contracted was a cold, and I didn’t get anything stolen or broken.
I would say that it was a successful semester abroad.
Welcome “home,” Rokia.
