Athena Florence Spring 2012: Brittany Rackliffe

"Do you really want to look back on your life and see how wonderful it could have been had you not been afraid to live it?"

The answer is: no. Going abroad is a life-changing experience that effects everyone differently. For me, it has opened my eyes to deeper parts of myself that I have been neglecting for the past few years. My love for food, foreign languages and history have begun to resurface and everyday I discover something new. That is the beauty of Florence, it is small enough to walk around and you find that things are closer together than you realized.
