My reaction to finding out I was going to South Africa:
Saying that I was ecstatic when I found out I was accepted into the program would be an extreme understatement. I had been uncontrollably excited about the trip since the minute I had decided to apply, and at that point I wanted to go so badly that the thought of being waitlisted, as cliché as it sounds, would have totally broken my heart. I am so happy to be going because I feel like I’m finally going to be pushed out of my comfort zone, do things and go places I never had before, and hopefully make some sort of difference, no matter how small.
One of the things that I am most excited about is starting an internship. I’ve never had an office job before; the only job experience I have is in the restaurant/bar business, and so I am very excited to be working in a job that will hopefully prepare me for my future career. I am so happy that I am taking part in something that I would never be able to do otherwise, and I can’t wait to see what the trip has in store for me!
