SAS

A few days ago, I sent away my application for the short term voyage for Semester at Sea. The voyage is based around the Millennium Developmental Goals and engineering new ways to obtain an equitable and sustainable future. The application required an essay about how the voyage goals correspond with my career goals. When I sat down and thought about it, I realized just how much every profession can be related back to the environment and sustainability in some way or another. Being a nursing major, I had a lot of ideas but chose to wrote about the overuse of research and fabrication of synthetic drugs, rather than researching and discovering new, natural drugs. I believe some of my thought process came from the field trip to ECHO, and specifically, the Neem and Moringa tree which had numerous health benefits. This topic has been on my mind ever since, and I plan to research the topic and write and Honors scholarship competition abstract about it. I find it very interesting.
