As I looked into and talked to past students about studying abroad in Cape Town, I began to invest in being admitted into the program. I tried to remain as rational as possible and did a fair job up until I found out that I was accepted – since then, I have not been able to contain my sincere excitement. There are many elements contributing to why I am looking forward to this experience, most of which are difficult to articulate. I have never spent a significant amount of time outside the U.S., and the collaborative internship and classroom experience of this program allows a unique and well-rounded opportunity to make the most out of our time on a different continent. As I learn and forge relationships with new people in a cultural context I have never been in before, I anticipate the transformative personal growth I yearn for. The people I am taking this adventure with are just as beautiful as the setting we’ll be in; that said, I can’t wait for a life-changing Cape Town experience!
