So far, today has been a fantastic day! There were two people who arrived at the university around 10:30 a.m. to give a presentation about studying in the US. The man came from Berlin and was a part of an organization that helps student who are considered "free movers" go abroad. The woman came from a university in upper-state New York. Both were really easy to talk to and I enjoyed my time with them.
We grabbed some coffee and talked about my experiences here in Germany and what I wanted to do when I got back to the States (or if I WAS going back to the States). It was great to hear about how a young woman got into the international education industry, and what exactly she does. Hearing about her experiences was fantastic and has definitely swayed me a bit more into getting into international education.
RIO had this presentation and was not expecting very many people to attend - however the entire room was filled with interested students. There were so many that there were not enough chairs for everyone! The interest is fantastic and I am so excited for all of these students who are considering going abroad in the near future, particularly to the US.
In other news, today is International Girls Day! I am so blessed to be a part of an organization that supports such a fantastic cause. In honor of International Girls Day, I suggest you read this article that I found while scrolling through my Facebook - Girl Power Campaign.
Today I will be making some dinner with Dawn, and tonight I will be participating in a competition. My teammate and I probably won't win, but it's all about the fun of the sport. :)
