Favorite Ferris Memory

• One of my favorite memories is the time I spent with students and other teachers in our World Language Dept. traveling abroad (Costa Rica, Spain). It was amazing to see how our students explored and experienced other cultures: trying new foods, meeting new people, seeing famous monuments, visiting archeological sites and museums, learning about the history of those countries, and most important, making new friends. Also, all “those inspiring moments and unforgettable experiences” from the classroom. I will always remember all of them and cherish them.
