Additionally, it gave me the confidence to apply for a Fulbright English Teaching Assistantship Grant in Spain. This past December I was fortunate enough to be invited down to Washington by the Commission to have dinner with the Spanish Ambassador-a memory I will never forget! I am sure that the opportunities I received when I returned from my study abroad experience are what led me to not only apply, but be awarded the Fulbright Grant. I am very much looking forward to returning to Cantabria, Spain as a Fulbright Grantee and I know it will not be the end of my relationship with Spain!”
