I just talked to a classmate who applied for and was approved to spend their winter break abroad. They will spend three short weeks working with a community in Central America to help improve their farming conditions. I guess this is the fifth year the University of Idaho has sent students down there. I wish I had known about this opportunity sooner. I have decided to apply for this next Winter (2013). If all goes well, I should be just starting my masters then. My summer camp experience made me think that I would like to pursue becoming a faculty at a university ... to do research - yes, but also to teach others and pass on my knowledge and excitement for learning onto the next generation of learners. |

This is a photo taken by best friend right after I graduated from high school. It shows my encounter with a baby llama while traveling in Peru. This was taken on a two week trip I took right before I came to the University of Idaho. My friend, Jordan just got his photos of the trip back and sent this one to me. I have such good memories of that trip! Peruvian territory was home to ancient cultures spanning from the Norte Chico civilization, one of the oldest in the world, to the Inca Empire, the largest state in Pre-Columbian America. The Spanish Empire conquered the region in the 16th century and established a Viceroyalty, which included most of its South American colonies. After achieving independence in 1821, Peru has undergone periods of political unrest and fiscal crisis as well as periods of stability and economic upswing. |
