I have studied the religious traditions of India for the past five years of my college career. I have long dreamt of going there. Some of the thinkers and writers that have impacted my life most have had life-changing journeys to the East. This might be the one chance I get to visit India, and completely immerse myself in the lives of Buddhists and Hindus. I will get to travel across the Ganges, meditate in the mountains of Ladakh, and experience a culture entirely different than my own. My family, not having very much money, never got to do much traveling. This would be my first time traveling outside the borders of my own country. This would give me insight into the varieties of cultures in the world, the philosophical worldviews of other religions, and a better self-understanding as an American citizen. This trip would, quite simply, mean the world to me.
