As a scholar, it is my duty to pursue academic excellence, but as a human it is my duty to uplift those around me. To be able to live and serve abroad will provide me with an invaluable experience to develop my own identity in relation to the world around me, learning more of life beyond my own very protective and privileged hometown.
