Cochise College student Celeste Morales is spending a semester abroad at London Metropolitan University. Morales, who plans a career in psychology, visited England, France and Italy last summer as a People to People Student Ambassador. She worked three jobs and raised funds for that trip on her own, thanks to the support she received from the Douglas community. This time, she’s enrolled through Global Learning Semesters, a study abroad program that enrolls her in several classes and take her to Dublin, Stonehenge, and Oxford. Although Cochise College is like her second home, she hopes the semester away will broaden her perspective, and she will send periodic updates to inspire other students to pursue their dreams.

The experience that I gain here in London will be life changing. I expect to encounter a wide range of points of view, meet large numbers of people from different backgrounds, and acquire further knowledge of London’s history, arts, and culture. I plan to visit all the historical places and social activities that I can find here, including the London Eye, Tower of London, Shakespeare Globe Theatre, St Paul’s Cathedral, local art galleries, shopping centers, and cinemas. I want to experience the daily life in London instead of just being a tourist. I picked this city for several reasons. Since it is a metropolitan city, the experience that I will gain here will be of enormous importance and very different for me, especially coming from Douglas. London also is rich in history and historical places, and it is diverse in cultures and societies.”
