I want to take a moment to thank everyone who is helping us
through this process. We have received support from our parents and family, UCF
staff, and our friends. Everyone is very encouraging and helpful, and we truly
appreciate that. Thank you! Muchas Gracias!
To our
fathers, thank you for navigating the many flight options and websites to find
us the best option and for keeping us going down the right path. To our
mothers, thank you for the wise words and constant encouragement. To Aunt
Toby and Uncle Jim, thank you for all of your knowledge concerning the process
of getting a visa and about traveling in general. To Grandma thank you for your great hugs and loving support. To Jess, thank you for being Batman! To Kelvin, thank you for making us laugh. And to everyone, thank you for
being interested in our journey and in making it something very special.
During
our Study Abroad Orientation, the Office of International Studies emphasized
that we need to have a support group. At the time, I had only a basic
understanding of what a “support group” really meant. Now, I know that having a
support group, a team of people trying to help you succeed, is invaluable. Our
friends and family help us keep the stress down as we navigate this somewhat
confusing process, and let us vent our frustrations or concerns.
So,
thank you all for everything that you do.
The famous Mexican novelist--who just died in May of 2012--Carlos Fuestnes wrote a book--The Buried Mirror: Reflections on Spain and the New World. A DVD documentary (in English) was made from the book. If you check out the university library they may have the DVD series.
