2 More Months To Go...

So I can't believe that I am leaving in 2 months. I have so much to do still, like get my visa, move out of my apartment and back into my mom's house, get malaria pills and buy enough bug spray to last a lifetime :). I just graduated from Penn State and ProWorld has allowed me to have the opportunity of a lifetime: to intern in Ghana for 3 months so I can build experience, gain knowledge, and help others. I could not be more grateful. I have always wanted to do something like this. However, I did attend high school for one year in Venezuela through Rotary International and studied abroad in Egypt for one month through Penn State's archeaology program. This internship got my attention because not only will provide me with professional experience (as I have a Sociology and International Relations degree), butI have never been to West Africa. I'm very excited to learn about my exact project in Ghana and meet my homestay family :). I have my Skype interview on Monday, so hopefully everything goes well. No matter where I end up interning, I will be happy to just be in Ghana making a difference.
