Alright, we are about to break down to the reasons why I am going to Germany because ignorant people think I'm in danger being a Jew in a country that hasn't seen openly versed anti-semitism since the 1950s or that I am disrespecting my grandmother because of her suffering in the Holocaust. If there are any countries/organizations that are anti-semitic in the 21st century, they are: Spain, Italy, and terrorist groups. Even then, those are just speculation.
Learn the facts!
1. NO, I am not disrespecting my grandmother. Look at it in this perspective: I can go to Hitler's grave (which I hear is a parking lot now) and spit on it.
2. The University of North Florida requires all International Business and International Affairs students to study abroad before graduation. It is also highly recommended for Transportation and Logistics students. It satisfies 3 credits.
3. I learned Spanish up until the10th grade, I was sick of it and did not wanna start it all over in college but I knew I couldn't pass the placement exam. Plus I am not interested in working in South America. Spicy food and I do not get along.
4. I need 4 semesters of language for my major. Just gave my reason for not taking Spanish. No one takes French at UNF even though it is offered. Chinese is a joke because the passing rate is 45% because it is so damn hard. Italian was not even offered until this semester. That leaves us with German! Ta-daaaaa!
5. The program I am going on is the German Language and Culture Program. I get 15 credits just for walking around the country and learning to get along with the people!
6. The money $$$$$, that is such a burning question amongst many a family member. The beauty of my program is that it is an exchange program! It is 1/4 of the price of the Spain, England, and China semester programs and just as cheap as the month long summer programs.
People, open your eyes to a new world!
