At the time of the 2002 Australia media program, I had just completed
my freshman year at the University of Michigan. I am undecided about my
major, but I plan on attending medical school in the future. Coming into
the 2002 media program, I was most attracted by the promise of beaches,
diving, surfing, sailing, and other outdoor adventures. Also, I could
hardly wait to learn about Aussie culture. I was hoping that being with
strangers so far away from home would help me realize what kind of person
I would like to grow into. Hopefully, it'll turn out an experience I'll
always be grateful for.
