During my time in South Africa, I hope to complete many acts of service and to grow as a person. I will be able to do this through actively participating in the previously set up programs such as the Adopt-a-Student program, and the Global Links Library and Literacy Campaign. I have researched these programs and believe in the positive work that they are doing. I am certainly accustomed to service projects and enjoy taking part of them. I have been involved in a few Habitat for Humanity service trips and am passionate about the work that they do and feel satisfied after I help others.
Another way to build a legacy in South Africa could be done through my internship at the Tygerberg Nature Reserve. The Nature Reserve is a vast expanse of land that is home to many species of animals and is active in various conservation efforts. This is something that I am also extremely fervent about and want to help out when I am working there and possibly after I leave. I just cannot wait to get there and begin my internship and be as active as possible. I know this trip will be a life changing experience and I really hope to contribute as much as I can.
