- [00:00:14.980]Hey, y'all.
- [00:00:15.813]My name is Wyatt Hubbard,
- [00:00:17.100]and I'm a senior applied science major
- [00:00:19.600]with an animal science minor from Elm Creek, Nebraska.
- [00:00:23.470]During the fall semester of my sophomore year,
- [00:00:26.020]I was given the opportunity of a lifetime.
- [00:00:29.820]I learned that there was a study abroad trip
- [00:00:31.910]looking for more students to join at the last minute.
- [00:00:35.270]This study abroad
- [00:00:36.340]was going to the beautiful country of New Zealand,
- [00:00:39.310]and exploring the South Island for 25 days,
- [00:00:42.290]learning about agricultural practices,
- [00:00:44.780]and of course, having a little bit of fun.
- [00:00:47.330]When I brought up the idea to my parents,
- [00:00:49.380]they were very skeptical at first,
- [00:00:51.770]not knowing what it would be like for me
- [00:00:53.520]to live in a foreign country for almost a month.
- [00:00:56.310]Over the course of about two weeks,
- [00:00:58.050]I was able to convince my parents
- [00:00:59.890]that this opportunity was worth it.
- [00:01:02.040]And man, was I right.
- [00:01:03.866]Being a late addition to the group
- [00:01:05.610]meant that I hadn't gotten the opportunity
- [00:01:07.520]to meet everyone that was going,
- [00:01:09.550]but it also meant that I had the opportunity
- [00:01:12.510]to make a ton of new friendships.
- [00:01:15.350]During the course of this trip,
- [00:01:16.640]we learned a lot about agriculture in New Zealand,
- [00:01:19.960]but don't worry, we had some fun too.
- [00:01:22.790]We also got to pick and choose our adventures
- [00:01:25.500]all along the way.
- [00:01:26.870]Some students going skydiving or bungee jumping,
- [00:01:29.920]others taking boat rides.
- [00:01:34.150]I had never thought that I would get the opportunity
- [00:01:36.940]or the luxury to travel abroad during my collegiate career,
- [00:01:41.230]but with the support of my parents,
- [00:01:43.140]I was able to experience life halfway around the world
- [00:01:46.490]with an amazing group of now extremely close friends.
