Service Abroad During Winter Break

I just talked to a classmate who applied for and was approved to spend their winter break abroad. They will spend three short weeks working with a community in Central America to help improve their farming conditions. I guess this is the fifth year the University of Idaho has sent students down there.

I wish I had known about this opportunity sooner. I have decided to apply for this next Winter (2013). If all goes well, I should be just starting my masters then. My summer camp experience made me think that I would like to pursue becoming a faculty at a university ... to do research - yes, but also to teach others and pass on my knowledge and excitement for learning onto the next generation of learners.
