After finding out I have been accepted into the Cape Town Study
Abroad program, I couldn't help but think of how much I will grow as a person after
having visited South Africa. I have always felt that the people who studied
abroad got a new perspective on the world that everyone else could not
understand without having experienced it themselves. I keep thinking about
everything that I want to do in Africa and about my internship which makes me
even more excited because it is directly related to what I want to become
involved with once I graduate from the University of Connecticut. I keep
thinking how this is a great way to end my four years of undergraduate studies
by doing something new and exciting. I can't wait for the feeling when I come
back from Africa and take what I’ve learned to impact lives here in the United
States.
I am sincerely so excited to go abroad this coming semester and interacting
with the community in South Africa makes my heart smile. I want to come back to
the states feeling that I have made a difference no matter how big or small. I
am also so excited to learn about Human Rights abroad, especially with the
history of South Africa. Everything about South Africa just feels right and I
can't wait to embark on this new journey!
