"Lets go to Tanzania!"
With my trip being less than three weeks away, I have a lot of preparing left to do and I am getting more and more thrilled to take on this new adventure. As most pre-med students can relate, I am at an awkward but exciting "limbo" phase of my life right now between undergrad and graduate school . Now that I have graduated and made the best out of 4 years at CSU, I finally have some time to explore the world and see what kind of crazy I can get myself into! On July 8th I will be traveling to Arusha, Tanzania, where I will be interning at a regional hospital and staying at a volunteer house for 6 weeks. I am going through a program called Elective Africa, which provides unique, hands-on experiences for pre-med and medical students. My hope is to come back with a new outlook on healthcare and an increased appreciation for helping the medically under-served. As the trip approaches, a mix of emotions are flooding over me -- excitement, uncertainty, nervousness...did I say excitement?! I cannot wait for this new adventure to unfold and I hope that you will join me as I blog about stories from across the world. I hope all stays well in the USA and I will keep up with posts as best as I can. Cheers to new beginnings!
