In the Fall of 2014 I was granted a scholarship to attend ICS, in Spain, for one semester. There, I studied Spanish rigorously and lived with a Sevillan family, whom I owe all my beautiful memories in Seville to. It was in this school that I took my first International Relations class. Seville opened my eyes to a Spanish culture so influenced by The Middle East and North Africa. Geopolitically, Seville is the perfect place to study world affairs. It's strong traditional roots allowed me to fully grasp the authenticity of the Spanish language.
