Global Awareness
I am traveling to Restoration Gateway in Uganda for six weeks this summer, so I have been speaking to people that will be attending the same trip in order to gain global awareness and prepare for my trip. These people include my Aunt and Uncle who have been attending this camp for about 10 years, my trip planner, other missionaries and doctors who attend the camp yearly, and other students my age who are attending the camp for the first time like me. I will be tutoring kids, learning about their culture/history, observing medical procedures, and building things within the community. This will increase my understanding of the world and other cultures. By speaking to other people going to Restoration I have learned a lot about the history of Uganda, the history of the Restoration Gateway area, and what I will be encountering in June.

About Me
My name is Abby Wilmer and I am born and raised in Columbus, Ohio. I have two sisters, one brother, and three dogs. I am a second year in the HSS program and planning to declare Biology as my major. I have always had a love for science and my parents are a great resource for me as they both work in the medical field. I plan to continue my academic career and love for science in medical school after my undergraduate studies.
Some of my extracurricular interests include being outside, trying new food places, watching movies (documentaries are my favorite!), playing/coaching lacrosse, and spending time with my family and dogs. Overall, I like to think I am a focused person that is quick to learn. This trait of mine makes learning interesting to me so I enjoy school and meeting new people.
This is a picture of me with my dad this past summer in the Rocky Mountains in Colorado. This image shows me doing something I love, being outdoors and exploring, with someone I admire most, my father. My dad encourages me to be the best version of myself and is enthusiastic about life.
