M: What was the process that brought you to this program?
W: I have two months off in the summer and I really wanted to do something meaningful with that time. When I learned about this program, I was excited because I want to be immersed in a culture.(1)I was also especially attracted to it because its educational focus aligns with my experience and passion for education.
M: Do you think you’ll have much culture shock, or have you done this kind of travel before?
W:(2)I’ve never been to Africa before, and I don’t think that there is any place that really compares. I have traveled abroad before but Europe and Australia don’t fall into the same category. I’ve done some service trips in high school to places in the US and Mexico, but I don’t think it’s the same. There will be some culture shock for sure.
M: What do you anticipate bringing back from your experience?
W: I believe this experience will bring a lot to my work in the field of service. It will definitely enhance my cultural awareness and global awareness. I think it will also shape the way in which I approach educating others.
M: Anything else you’d like to share?
W:(3)I’m currently in the midst of raising funds! I would like to thank people who have supported me and helped me get to this point.
M: Do you have plans when you return to have a discussion about your experience?
W:(4)I would love to share my experience with the university community. I hope to give a presentation about my experience upon my return in the fall semester.
