Growing up I used to be so naive to the existence of the rest of the world, trapped in my own bubble that seeming kept me bound within the state lines of Oregon for a number of years. The summer before my freshman year in high school was my first time leaving the United States, my grandparents had generously decided to take my two cousins (Jake and Sarah), sister (Megan), and I on a two-week trip to Europe. My grandparents are extremely kind people that love to spoil us grandkids and spoil us they did with this trip of a lifetime. Going to a different country, especially one that lies on the other side of the ocean, was something odd for me, an Oregon born and raised kid who had never even stepped foot on foreign soil.

The European Union was formed in the 1950s, specifically under the 1957 Treaty of Rome that implemented the single market for goods, labour, services and capital with common policies on transport and agriculture and to incorporate the creation of the European Social fund and commission. In these early stages it was termed the European Economic Commission (EEC) and was derived of six member states; Germany, France, Italy, Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg. The UK declined an invitation to join. Nevertheless, twenty-two years later the UK was granted accession in 1973 and forty-three years later the UK has voted to leave
