Hi everyone! My name is
Meghan O'Neil, you can call me Meg or Meghan I don't have a preference! I am a
sophomore Sociology major with a double minor in Communications and Women's,
Gender and Sexualities Studies. I have wanted to go to Africa for basically my
entire life, so when I heard about this program I was interested immediately.
Ultimately I chose this trip over others because of the internship aspect and
because I feel like this trip really emerges you into the culture.
My dream career would be
working to better women's education in third world countries, so I hope this
trip and my internship gives me a better sense of what that is like. I also
hope to form new and lasting relationships with the other students going because
so far it seems like an awesome group! I can't wait to emerge myself into a new
culture and go on tons of adventures to explore South Africa!
When I first got my
acceptance email into the program I was ecstatic to say the least! I
immediately called my family and texted basically everyone I am close to. The
realization that one of my dreams was finally going to come true was
overwhelming. I don't think I stopped smiling for the rest of the night.
