Cruise For Credit
An exciting experience I have encountered was going to the Caribbean Island for a Cruise for Credit trip. Study Abroad is a program that allows you to take different trips to various places in the world for credit hours towards student degrees. I had the opportunity to travel to the Caribbean Island to Mexico, Cayman Islands, and Key West Florida. They are some wonderful places to visit for the first time. I left December 15-22, 2007, a week before Christmas. For a person to have never gone on a cruise before, I was a very happy person to experience something I have never experienced before.
The class that I took on the Cruise for Credit was a wellness (one hour credit) I have to have to graduate. The is great because I don’t have to take wellness in the classroom, instead, I can take the class on a cruise ship. A lot of other people and I took the same class and performed various activities. Some of the activities that we performed on the ship includes: volleyball, juggling, catching with the ball, and a lot of fun wellness activities. Our instructor was teaching the class how to play each game. Also, the class had to take a short test over the rules of the games we played, but most of the rules were common sense and easy to recognize on the test.
The final thing I liked about the cruise is sight seeing. Going to the different places to see how the culture, and the people react to visitors from another country is amazing. Mexico has a fast paste country and the people fall in love with you. When Mexicans want to make some fast money, they will aggravate you until you buy their hat, clothes, or even jewelry. Also in Mexico, we went snorkeling under water for sight seeing, but I did not go because I didn’t bring any swimming clothes. The studying abroad is a lot of fun and I wouldn’t mind traveling a second time to experience the excitement.
