Hello from Julianne
Hello all,
I'm Julianne Skinner from Voorhees, NJ. I am so excited for this journey--I've never lived abroad for an extended period of time, but I can imagine how much there is to learn from it. I am joining the program as part of my gap year, and I'll b e a freshman at Carleton College in the fall.
Some of my interests--I listen to a lot of music and play a little, and I love the outdoors, camping, backpacking, and everything that goes with it. I loved Latin classes in high school, and I'm looking forward to learning a spoken language. I am very undecided about what to study in college, maybe Linguistics or Chemistry. I miss doing community service in my school's service program; my favorite weekly site wasa a group home for the mentally ill where we talked and played board games with the residents. It was surprisingly homey.
Can't wait to see everyone in September.
--Julianne
