Terri can't wait

I was very excited to be accepted into the program and cannot wait to get to South Africa.  The aspect of this program that excites me the most is the opportunity to learn the culture and societal differences between South Africa and America.  I am very interested in having a first hand experience of the life of South African citizens, the differences in government, and the culture.  I would be eager to meet South African natives and students to get a better understanding of the world around me. The things I would experience and learn while in Cape Town are things I will learn from and carry with me for the rest of my life.

I cannot wait to get to know all the Uconn students who will be going to South Africa along with me. Living with such a large group of people is a challenge that I am excited for and eager to overcome. I plan to work in a hospital while in Africa in order to prepare myself for a career as a Physicians Assistant. I am excited for every aspect of the trip and cannot wait to have the most amazing experience while there.
