As part of my understanding of global awareness I would like to study abroad. I am looking into minoring in Russian. As I am looking into career opportunities in government, Russian is one of the top languages to be fluent in. I would love to learn more not only about the language but the culture of Russia and maybe study abroad there. In my original inquiries I hope to conduct research or help in research projects involving the humanities. Specifically I would like to do research involving political science. In my academics I would like to achieve and strive for excellence and the best possible work I can do. I hope to take classes that challenge me and push myself to think critically. I hope in my off time I am able to become a leader in my extra curricular and in my community. Service engagement is very important to me and I hope to partake in some through clubs and on my own.
