There are a lot of stereotypes that I have about Mexico and Mexican people. My stereotypes about Mexico are that it is dirty, poor, technologically behind, and unsafe. The stereotypes of the Mexican people include, uneducated, creepy, hard workers, cheap, willing to rip you off, and drunks. These stereotypes will be proven wrong in Mérida with its culture and people.

I have many expectations for the study abroad in Mérida, Mexico. I want to grow to understand the Mexican culture and expand my knowledge of the Spanish language. I want to experience new things and grow as a person to better understand others and break stereotypes. I want to make memories that will stay with me forever.
