Yesterday at 6:30, I left Minnesota for an orientation in Arlington, VA. I will not be returning for 6 weeks, the longest I've ever been out of Minnesota. After a plane ride from Minneapolis to Chicago and finally to Washington Dulles, I got to the orientation around 6. After a few icebreakers and a little orientation, I fell asleep. Imagine, on Sunday, I will be leaving the United States for Madrid then Morocco. I also found out I will be staying in Rabat, the capital (signified by the star on the map)

Chosen for a scholarship and the experience of a Lifetime
2100 applications and only 670 students chosen to study their choice of seven languages. The most highly demanded language was Arabic. I am one of 78 students studying Arabic in Morocco this summer through a National Security Language Initiative for Youth (NSLI-Y) scholarship (funded by the Department of State).
