This past week, I've had an incredible time on a family vacation in Cancun, Mexico. All of my mom's side of the family was able to be there and the 19 of us had a great time. I spent most of the trip sleeping, eating, reading by the beach, and occasionally doing something productive like snorkeling or water skiing. I also did get to play a lot of tennis, which was great. It was hard to leave that tropical paradise, but I know I have a great experience ahead of me.
So I'm brand new to this whole blogging thing, but it seems like a great way to stay in touch. And I remember reading my close friend Kevin Niparko's blog when he was part of this program two summers ago. It was through Kevin and some of my other friends that I learned about the great work World Partners in Education (WPE) does in Ghana and I'm really looking forward to getting there and experiencing it for myself. I'm sure I will learn a tremendous amount this summer, especially pertaining to my two academic focuses at Dartmouth - education and international relations. But I'm also sure that I will learn a lot about myself in the process and have valuable experiences that I will remember for the rest of my life.
So I'll try to remember to cut my rambling short in future posts. I'll hopefully keep this blog up and running with regular updates while I'm there. I feel ready to go, but I know that I can't fully prepare for the experience I'm entering and will have to just go with the flow most of the time. It should be a wild ride and I'm ready to get started. Talk to you all later!
