Thinking Ahead

As much as I want to immerse myself in the present, I do realize that this amazing year will eventually come to an end. In order to keep my options open I have dedicated more time than I would like to remember completing my application for Rollins School of Public Health at Emory University. Let me clarify, in case anyone was doubting, how difficult it is to request transcripts, enlist old professors and bosses for references, and remember all those important activities in which I participated during college. Unreliable internet access made the entire process even more complicated, yet I finally finished and am rewarding myself with Christmastime travels. I have decided that I will be heading back to Atlanta after relinquishing my responsibilities as Ambassadorial Scholar, but am not quite sure if I want to gain more work experience in the public health hub of the US or continue my education. Time and scholarship decisions will tell, but for now I can return my focus to my daily Colombian life.
