“You have been
accepted!” Am I reading this e-mail correctly? Did I really get in?
I’m going to South Africa! I re-read my acceptance e-mail probably 10
times before it actually hit me that I’d be getting the chance of a lifetime in
just a few months. What do I need to pack? How many people am I
living with? Where will my internship be? I sat there in my lecture
hall of 200 students silently grinning ear to ear as I continued to re-read
this exciting e-mail. It took everything in me to keep myself composed,
sit there quietly, and not start clapping my hands together in
excitement.
I can’t remember the last time
I felt so genuinely excited about something. How amazing, that while
everyone else is taking class on campus in Connecticut, I’ll be studying at the
University of Cape Town and working with children in South Africa. I
immediately began to think of all the sightseeing I’d be doing and the amazing
people I’d meet throughout my time there. I don’t know where I’ll be
living, who I’ll be with, or where I’ll be working, but I do already know that
this is going to be the time of my life.
