Hi everyone!
As most of you know, in less than a month I will be going to China ^_^ So yesterday I went to my first diplomatic networking event and I got to meet other people who were interested in foreign language and international relations. I ended up really enjoying conversation with this guy who was planning to go to Russia and a girl who was planning to go to Tajikistan. I also met an online friend in person at this event so that was pretty cool. My favorite part of everything was when the Miami resident diplomat came out and informed the group of various opportunities that I would have never thought of. Having such an open discussion with Madame diplomat really eliminated all concerns and more than anything, confirmed that I want to be a Foreign Service Officer (specifically an American Ambassador). I can't wait to see where this adventure takes me.
I'm ready to change the world, helping one person at a time.
