With this year quickly coming to an end it is
time to figure out what comes next. This
year has helped me realize that I definitely want to continue on this path of
international development. I have also realized that I am ready to move on from volunteering/direct community involvement. It is time to learn what happens
behind the scenes. I feel like through these experiences I am ready to take the
next step in developing my professional skills.
With that being said
I have some exciting news! I have decided to go back to school and get my
masters in International Development and Service at Concordia University in
Portland. Well it is misleading to say that it is in Portland because I spend
my second and third semesters abroad. I can choose between Italy, Thailand, and
Ecuador. I will chose to go to Thailand my second semester and Ecuador my third
semester.
I am really excited
to explore a new area of the states and see if the west coast is a better fit
for me. I’ve heard great things about Portland, and have started watching
Portlandia (a hilarious tv show I recommend to everyone) to get me up to speed
on the culture in Portland so I will fit in ;).
Overall I feel real
good about this decision and feel like it is the right move for me. Thank you to everyone who has been there for
through this process and offered their support. I wouldn’t be here today without all of you!
In conclusion, it looks live my life as a Nomad will continue on for another two years.
The Blog will live on.
