I even started a singing club for students at my school for English practice. Music is a great tool for language practice. I also volunteered with a public health group that teaches the community about serious diseases. It is always good to talk to others about staying healthy.
Travelers, always remember that you can change someone’s life by just being a helping hand. When you show up to help, people feel a little bit more hopeful that everything will be okay. I believe that giving back and serving others is a huge part of studying abroad and being a Gilman Scholar. Are you planning to travel abroad when you grow up? Well, start thinking about what talents you have and how you can serve the place you are going. The United States is an important place for the whole world. When people from other countries meet you, they will leap for joy when talking about their new American friend.
