My Travel Story

  • Cultural Exchange
  • Educational/Research Trip
  • Volunteer Trip
I have decided to embark on this trip because I will have an opportunity to pursue many things that I am interested in and passionate about--education, youth, and travel. It is an opportunity for me to expand my reach as an educator and impact a different corner of the world that I would not have had a chance to, without this trip. This trip will provide me with a different perspective that I can take into my future work as an educator and leader. My hope is that this trip will prepare me as I continue my work in education and positively impact the lives of marginalized youth of color. I chose South Africa because I am intrigued by the beauty, culture, and history of the country and I want to work to study, address, and impact the various educational inequities that still exist in the country, especially against people of color. I believe that a global perspective of education will enrich the work that I will do and guide my practice as an educator to ensure that students have equitable access to quality education and opportunities that will enhance their lives.
