I joined the Germany Biosciences program primarily because
I’ve had a long-time fascination with Germany. Rather early on after coming to
A&M I heard about the program and second to getting into the BMEN program
in the first place, participation in the program became one of my main goals.
As we’ve come closer to the start of the program I’ve learned more and more
about it and everything I’ve learned so far has only served to further convince
me of what an amazing opportunity this program is both personally and
professionally. I hope being immersed in German culture for an extended period
can help me learn German, as more traditional methods of learning it haven’t
been terribly successful, but I love the language. Additionally, I hope this
program can help to revitalize my drive for my education, as my performance
this last semester was not up to my standards. I am somewhat worried about
culture shock and how I will get along in Germany but my main worry is that I
won’t get as much out of this program as I could have. I know I have a tendency
to not take advantage of things as much as I should when I can, and I tend to
miss out because of that. I hope that in joining with my peers they can help
motivate me to take every opportunity I can while abroad.
