The Global Experience Introduction

This blog site predominantly features writing based on a variety of my global experiences at Boston College.

The blog starts with several entries including essays and reflection topics from classes and the 4Boston service organization.

There are a couple of entries, such as the Anthropology Fieldwork essay, personal profile, and protest music essay, which incorporate aspects of my personal reflection with academic exercises.

The rest of the writing consists of reflections, stories, and thoughts concerning my experience living in South Africa for 5 months during my junior year. This experience living abroad has been a very meaningful and formative experience for me. These entries (in reverse order, as they were initially written chronologically) represent many of the highs, lows, joys, struggles, and learning experiences in South Africa.

I hope this web site provides a window into my experiences, both in Boston and South Africa, that contribute to my widening perspective about the world around us.
