Manuel [2006]
I am looking forward to obtain an International Affairs major when I graduate from UGA. Afterwards, diplomacy or working for a government could fulfill my desire to serve and help. This new experience will provide me with better insight to the problems of people, and people themselves. The opportunity to work with children is highly valuable at a personal level, since I have been repeatedly suggested to pursue a career in education. I love the ocean, listening to music, a good conversation, jogging, swimming, dancing!, helping others (a little, or a lot), and to be on my own to meditate about life (on Earth).
