One Step Closer to My Dreams: Asheley's trip to Cuba
My Travel Story
Greetings,
My name is Asheley Taylor and I am a graduating senior at Bennett College from Durham, NC. As a first-generation college student from a single parent home raised by my father, I work very hard to achieve all of my goals. During my time at Bennett College, I have served my college community actively and academically. I am one of the 4 HBCU White House All-Stars Bennett College Representatives, a member of Psi Chi International Honors Society, and I have made the Dean's and Honors lists for several semesters. I have been accepted into the Community Health and Environment Immersion program with Drexel University in Cuba for the 2018 summer.
This program will allow me to compare and contrast how effective different strategies and programs are in the field of public health. It will also allow me to enhance my critical thinking, writing and presentation skills. During this two-week field experience coordinated by various preceptors in the global health field, I will witness first hand the integrated approaches to healthcare and public health in Cuba. The total cost for this trip is $3500 which will cover program fees, vaccinations, daily meals, travel, and cultural excursions.
_________________________________________
In the future, I plan to complete a graduate program in nursing and public health. I would like to develop my research interest in exploring the beliefs people have regarding preventative care as opposed to reactive care. Some programs that I would like to develop would be local health fairs, access to healthier food options, and distributions of preventative health literature. In general, I am always eager to gain more knowledge about health-related topics, or any other things that can advance me as a person and professionally.
Any amount you are able to donate would be of great assistance and appreciated!
Thank you!
