Travel!

         I love everything about traveling: packing the journey, the excitement of being in a new place away from home, and the experiences you will have. So far in my life I have traveled to three different countries outside of the United States, and may different states inside our borders. I have traveled to England several times because I have a lot of family who lives over there, I have traveled to Paris, and I have also traveled to Canada. Each trip brought new experiences and different memories.

          I believe traveling is important because traveling allows a person to become acquainted and familiarized with different societies. There is also a great amount of different historical points and landmarks, which are interesting to visit. A great program that southern offers is the travel abroad program. This is an opportunity everyone in the university should at least look into.

         When I looked into the program I thought the study abroad trip to Guatemala looked interesting. It looked like a good opportunity to both explore a new country, and gain experience in the medical field. I have always wanted to go to a foreign country to help out medically. There are so many countries who are not well equipped in the medical field. I am a biology major and I want to go into the medical field. Traveling to Guatemala would offer me a lot of experience and it would look great on resumes.

         I think it is a good idea to do you traveling while you are young; before you have the full time commitment of a family. It is sometimes to do the traveling you want when you have economic and family commitments. I hope to do a lot of traveling when I graduated SCSU. There are so many place in the world that would be great to visit. I hope I have the opportunity to get there, and I would encourage anyone who has thought about traveling to try to follow through with their plans. It will be an experience you will not forget.
