Christina's Journey to Italy!
My Travel Story
With my Sociology major and minors in Peace & Justice and Political Science, I will be taking a variety of classes at the Syracuse University Florence Center that will further my knowledge in those fields. Some of the classes focus on the Italian culture, globalization, human hights, and Italian politics. I'll have the opportunity to study topics that I wouldn't be able to study at my current college. Plus, I am most passionate about human rights issues and there's a class specfically on that! I'll be able to have first hand experience studying a different culture and their political climate that I will then be able to apply to my
future career (hopefully in public policy).
However, what I am most excited about is being able to visit the places where both sides of my family are from. My dad's side are from the province Abruzzo and the province Campania, and my mom's side are from the province Sicily. I will hopefully get to meet my mom's side who live near Messina because we are still in contact with them (one of my cousins I have met--he's a pilot in the U.S. now!).
This trip will be so meaningful to me, both academically and personally. I had to apply to this program when I saw how perfect the classes were and how easy it would be for me to finally meet my mom's family in Sicily and visit where my dad's family is from. Thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone that is willing to donate. You are helping me go on a journey of a lifetime.
