Hello Readers!
It's been over a year since I last posted, and for that I am sorry, but the time in between updates has been spent satisfying my academic curiosity as well as taking on a brief stint as a camp counselor this past summer. As I near the finish line of my third semester of college, I find myself looking ahead to yet another incredible global opportunity which will send me halfway around the world once again for several months. Northeastern University has several unique programs which allow students to make the most of their education and gain what the administration refers to as an "experiential education". One of these programs is our coop program -- a system that allows students to take time off from their studies for a 6 month period, and spend that time working in a field of their choosing. Most students will choose to either do two or three coops during their time here -- graduating in four or five years. My first coop is coming up in January, when I will board a plane bound for Rwanda to take up a position as an English Teacher at a technical high school in Musha called ETSK. I am incredibly excited to have been offered this job, and cannot wait to begin my coop. I am planning to revitalize this blog in order to share my experiences for the six months I am gone, so check back in January to see how I've settled in and to read the latest news from Rwanda! (also I've learned how to use gifs, so that's new and exciting)
