My name is
Emily Steck and I am a Sophomore pursuing a double major in Political Science
and Human Rights. I'm most interested in studying women's and reproductive
rights as they relate to policy and social justice. I decided to
participate in the Cape Town program because it provides students with an
environment abroad that is unique and multifaceted. Cape Town is home to a
culture that I am very excited to immerse myself in and the internship program
paired with the classes offered interested me to no end. In going to Cape Town
I hope to gain some hands-on experience in my areas of study and get a better
understanding as to where my focus should lay when considering future career/life
options.
Since
committing to the program I have felt exceptionally excited to begin
preparations to go abroad and to get to know everyone in the program better.
Though I am a little sad to be leaving behind some amazing friends and a very
nervous family, my excitement for beginning this journey far over-shadows any
of that. I cannot wait to see all of the sights and enjoy the beautiful city
that I have spent extensive amounts of time looking at in photographs and
online.
