Morocco: Culture & Ecology, Fall 2007

Hi,

My name is Catherine Ezzell, but everyone calls me Ellie. I am from Houston, Texas, and am 18 years old.

I am currently enrolled in American University, but have decided to defer for a year. I love languages. Because of my Mexican heritage, I speak Spanish, and spending my junior year in Rennes, France, taught me French. I cannot wait to go abroad again.

I love hanging out with my friends, reading, dancing, and generally living life. Right now I am working as a personal assistant. I love my job, but I have to remind myself to slow down and enjoy life. I am a nature girl, living a city life (that I love) of cafes, thrift store shopping, and late night freeway driving. So, to fulfill my nature girl instincts, I go camping with friends and volunteer at a local community garden.

I am excited about the prospect of spending the fall semester in Morocco and the spring in India. It inspires me and I know that it is the right thing to do in my life.

Ellie
