你为什么选择宝博体育?
It is definitely a cliche but I wanted to get out of my comfort zone. Pittsburgh has become a second home at this point 和 while I have a lot of love for my school I was itching for new experiences. 宝博体育, 特别是伦敦, gives me the opportunity to take classes unique to the city 和 culture while gaining a more comprehensive underst和ing of my major. It might sound a little nerdy but I find it super cool that I get to study where some of the most integral political concepts 和 philosophical thinkers originated.
What is one new experience you're hoping to have while abroad?
Although I am not the biggest fan of the sport, I have always wanted to go to a Premier League game. Ever since I watched Ted Lasso I have not stopped thinking about being in an arena of that size amongst such passionate fans. 我来自费城这样的城市, my passion for my city 和 its sports is similar 和 I am looking forward to finding atmospheres in 伦敦 that replicate it.
你对什么事情充满激情和兴奋?
Out of my many hobbies, cooking is by far my favorite; I consider it one of my love languages. There is something really special to me about sharing a meal with friends 和 family. Lately, I have been trying to learn some new Korean recipes 和 it has been going pretty well. 我刚刚掌握了一道叫 Oi Muchim翻译过来就是把黄瓜淋上酱汁. The refreshing nature of the cold cucumbers paired with the vibrant Korean chili flake, Gochugaru, 让人上瘾的沙拉.
What class are you most looking forward to taking while abroad?
I am super excited for my Urban Studies course called Analyzing 和 Exploring the Global City. This class focuses on field studies where we will get the chance to explore 伦敦's diverse set of neighborhoods 和 geographies. Since I am a visual 和 experiential learner this class is going to be right up my alley.
a是什么? 个人 和 专业 goal you hope to achieve during your study abroad program this semester?
In all honesty, my 个人 goals are constantly changing. I find that I think so much about the future that I lose sight of the present. As a college student I am always working towards due dates 和 planning ahead. 所以，我现在的目标是更与时俱进. I only have so long to be in my twenties 和 while I have a lot of goals for myself, 我也想体验我的生活. I want to continue to be a good friend, daughter, 和 older sister. And most importantly, I want to always stay true to myself.
Professionally speaking, working on a political campaign has been a goal of mine since middle school. During the summer 和 fall of 2021 I was able to intern on Josh Shapiro's campaign for governor of Pennsylvania. 担任这个角色巩固了我对政治的兴趣. 与志同道合的人一起工作, energetic young 专业s really changed my outlook on post-grad work. More recently I have been considering the possibility of teaching (something middle-school me would not have guessed). 强大的社区建立在良好的教育基础之上. 然而, most public school curriculums leave out major historical events 和 critical topics (like sex ed). 这是我的兴趣相交的另一个例子. Local politicians are responsible for the development of curriculum, 因此，选出合适的人选至关重要. Wherever my career may lead me, I will continue to positively impact those around me.
在你的帖子里我们可以期待些什么?
You can look forward to content that makes you feel the strong urge to open a study abroad application portal. I am looking forward to exploring the less traveled corners of 伦敦 和 giving those at home a chance to see what the city has to offer beneath the touristy spots. A couple of my friends that live in 和 around 伦敦 have offered to show me each of their favorite spots which is going to make for some really cool TikToks.
