"I look at Zena on October of this year and Zena on October of last year and I feel like I am a different person in my core. I constantly seek a deeper understanding of the things I am doing and awareness in the world. This past semester, all my friends on Semester at Sea, for the most part, were international which sparked a passion for foreign service. I'm trying to become more knowledgable and understanding of people and why they have certain opinions, beliefs or perspectives, and adding that to my view of the world."
