One of these is the opportunity to help make an impact on the local community through coaching. Another is the change to study to receive a master’s degree while learning from a different culture and perspective. The opportunity to continue a competitive career in basketball is also a great feature of the program. Another great opportunity that I have experienced firsthand over the past two weeks is the chance to travel and see the world. Compared to where I am back in the United States, it is relatively easy to travel and see other countries. Europe is so densely packed with different countries that it offers a great opportunity to experience new cultures. During the holiday break I was able to experience four countries that I have never visited in less than two weeks. It continues to amaze me how I can learn so much and enjoy each country despite offering a very different experience. I am very excited to go on more adventures throughout this year to see what else the world has to offer and hope that some other Victory Scholars will want to do the same.
