The look in the students’ eyes and the smile that brightened on their face as they recalled their experience with another culture, sparked a flame in me. I then began telling myself, I have to do this. I am now a junior in college and I am taking the next step to achieve my dream. Now being a young adult, in the same town I’ve lived in for the past 20 years I feel as if there is so much more to life; more than just a daily routine, more than just dirt roads, more than just the same old faces, more than just simple. I am looking to study abroad to experience what the world has to offer. I am looking to become one with another culture; to become educated on the history of another culture. London would be the first perfect destination to fill the dullness in my life. As a Pre-Nursing major student, I feel as if this experience will benefit me not only physically but mentally as well.
This experience will enhance my people skills and with further opportunities such as this it will also help with my understanding of different people that I encounter within hospitals as a nurse. Not only will this experience enhance me academically and professionally but also it would be highly beneficent to my overall well-being. Although nursing is my major I am a photographer and have a passion for music. Having such a strong passion for art has given me the motivation to capture and enjoy the little things in life. The roaring ‘60s was a very progressive age that brought in new types of music and arts into a limitless culture. Being able to have this firsthand experience would mean the absolute most to most to me. This trip will impact my life greatly, educating me on the beauty of a different culture, becoming a part of that culture as well as making lifelong memories. Receiving this scholarship to study abroad would give me a chance at a better look at life. A chance I could not fulfill by myself. I would be so blessed and honored to receive such a rewarding experience. Thank you for your time.
