At Trinity I grew as a writer, editor, and reader. My classes pushed me to think outside of the box of everything I'd already learned. I also had to "re-train" many of my ways of thinking to adapt to their style, forms, and customs. This helped me become a more well-rounded (and well-read) student. In Dublin, I grew as an individual. I had to be resourceful, self-sufficient, and outgoing. I challenged myself to make new friends, seize every opportunity, and also give myself proper time to reflect and be grateful for my time there.
