One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Learning french, sending myself to a study abroad, and actually being able to communicate with people who ONLY speak French! Its truly an incredible feeling to be understood.
The second and third time I have ever skied was in the French Alpes. I started from nothing to going straight to the red trails within one day. I have never felt so overjoyed to learn a new skill and to do it in one of the most beautiful places on earth.
