I understand how important it is to never visit as a tourist, with double-breast pocketed shirts stuffed with maps and brochures, Bermuda shorts, tacky sunglasses and all.
When i travel I want to seep myself completely into the culture and environment I'm in and since I have always traveled with my family, never on my own, I need an opportunity like this-- to fly on my own.
My love for education and learning stems from my overwhelming love for travel. This opportunity will allow me to do exactly that: To immerse myself into a brand new culture, to experience new surroundings, to interact with people from different worlds, to learn from and appreciate perspectives so different from my own because that is, what I believe, learning.

It is crucial for a thirst like mine to be cemented with the skills and insight acquired by an institute like __________.
