I
still cannot believe I’m going to South Africa in 4 months and I cannot be more
ready. I immediately made a million phone calls and posted on all social
networks possible. My friend who went on the trip previously kept telling me it
was the best experience she’s ever had and looking at her pictures makes me
believe her. I think what I’m most excited for is working in the clinic and
helping and meeting people who are so unlike me. I know I’ll probably never get
an experience like this again so I plan on making the most of it. I am an
Allied Health junior with hopes of becoming a physician assistant. I think this
trip will show me a whole other side to the medical field and only motivate me even
more to pursue a career in the medical field and help others.
Cape Town is the
farthest I will have ever gone from home and although I know there will be
challenges and maybe some homesickness, I know what I will get from it will be
far more rewarding and fulfilling. From my knowledge of Cape Town, it has much
history and story behind it. I think it gives the country that much more
personality and I look forward to learning more about it during our classes at
the University of Cape Town. I also
cannot wait to experience the climate and the animals that are so different to
us here in America. Everyone I tell that I’m going cannot believe it either.
Most people do not get an opportunity like this and I cannot be more grateful
