My Travel Story

Hello everyone! My name is Grace Meckley and I am a first year student at NC State University. For those of you who may not know, I have been working on an opportunity to travel to Ireland with NC State to study the Equine Industry. This is an opportunity that I am very passionate and excited for as I aspire to work in this industry for my career. However with any great opportunity, there are financial obstacles that I am working through.Any contribution would be greatly appreciated and a blessing to me. I truly hope to make this dream possible, but I cannot do it alone. 

This study abroad experience would greatly benefit my professional goals within the equine industry. I am currently studying agriculture business management in hopes to be an entrepreneur within the equine industry. This study abroad program is directly relevant and related to my goals as it is a deep dive into the equine industry. We will have the opportunity to view the industry and all it can offer, as well as being operated in a very successful manner. It is my goal to get insight, observe, and learn as much as possible about this industry. It has been a dream of mine to travel out of the country, and get to immerse myself in the equine industry. I have a great passion for this industry and learning to my fullest potential and extent. I am ecstatic to have this possible opportunity to broaden my knowledge base and grow as an individual. I feel this trip would be the perfect opportunity to help me grow towards my career and learn as much as possible for my future success.
