My name is
Amelia Subervi, I am a Psychology and Political Science double major, and I am
a junior. I decided to participate
in this program because I knew I wanted to go abroad before I graduated however
I’ve never been out of the country and knew that I would one day vacation in
Europe and Southern America. South Africa was truly a once in a life time
opportunity that i’m ecstatic to take advantage of.
I really hope
to enrich myself in the vibrant culture Cape Town has to offer. It’s a city
with so much history and poverty so above all i’m excited to learn all there is
to know about a place so foreign to me.
After being
accepted words can’t even begin to describe my enthusiasm. Every time I see
South Africa mentioned in a textbook, class room reference, or even in the news
I get excited. After recently seeing the huge protest that went on this past
week I couldn't be happier to be fortunate enough to go to a place where so
many people want to see change and will do all they could to get it. I’m
excited to see myself outside of the vacuum of my normal life in America by
being placed entirely outside my comfort zone and sharing this experience with
so many great people. South Africa I’m ready for you!
