On the surface, this trip was an amazing opportunity to learn more about Spanish culture, try some amazing food, and make friends.
However it wasn't just a vacation. It truly was much more than simply that.
I learned about the person that I can be.
I leaned that I can do the things I say that I can't.
I learned in order to truly grow, you really have to step outside your comfort zone.
I know these statements sound so cliché. But it's true.
I feel like I'm now a more confident, independent person.
I know what I'm capable of, and I have a better idea of the positive changes I can make moving forward.
Within the last week, I've already noticed how much I've changed.
I ended up organizing a trip to Barcelona Fashion Week - something I never would have had the courage to do. I was never one to be a leader. But I excitingly took the opportunity to be one.
This seems so small and so insignificant - most people could do this so easily. But to me, it was a big deal.
I'm sad to leave Barcelona, but I'm excited to go back home and tackle my junior year of high school with this new attitude.
See you soon, Barcelona. Thanks for breaking me out of my shell.
