Throughout my life I haven't been put in a situation where I had to make a serious decision, nor have I ever had to really choose a road. I have chosen to elaborate on a opportunity that I took that ended up having a very positive impact on my life. Collingwood had the option for students to go away for a month in the summer and take a course in France. For me taking this opportunity would be like nothing I had ever done. I decided that I could make the most out of this incredible opportunity and go be independent for a month half way across the world. I learned so many lessons from being away from my family, and I have been able to reflect what i've learnt into my everyday live. I can in a way consider this trip a road that I decided to take that had a very positive effect on my life.
