Emily proclaims: "SOUTH AFRICA! HERE I COME!!!"

I think I'm still in shock that I am actually going to Africa, and not just for a quick visit but rather I will be living there with 23 other people I don't know. I'm incredibly excited, WOOOOOHOOOOO!!!


I'm ready to get off this campus and do something different, make a difference in my community and have a meaningful academic experience. I can't wait to meet he people, taste the food, see the mountains, CLIMB THEM and cry because I am so happy to be there. I can' wait to bond with my roommate, housemates and fellow UConn classmates and share an experience with them like no other. I know this will be one of the best experiences of my life and I cannot wait for it to begin!!!


Meeting the group today was great, it seems like a lot of great people coming from a lot of different perspectives. I'm so excited this is the biggest risk I've taken in my life to date and I can only imagine the benefits I will reap from it! 
YAY SOUTH AFRICA! HERE I COME!!!
