As a West Point cadet, the end of summer meant the end of freedom. Yet now that I've tossed the hat, this coming Fall brings something far different than the gray walls of USMA.
During the 2010-11 academic year, I'll be studying as a Rotary Ambassadorial Scholar at Oxford University. I'll be reading for a one year Masters degree in African Studies. My choice to study Africa was largely inspired by my volunteer experience in Ghana in 2009.
There's much more to be said about this wonderful opportunity that my local Rotary district has made possible for me, and how I plan to make the most of the experience. So much, in fact, that I've started a new blog: Oxford Tales.
Follow it this year at: http://oxfordtales.wordpress.com
The blog's primary audience is the people in mid-Michigan - family and friends in Midland, and especially Rotarians in District 6310 - who are supporting me during this scholarship period. Please check it out here. Thanks for reading.
