Anticipated Travels

By: Angela Fetty

There are many reasons why I wish to attend the Puerto Rico study abroad trip. Traveling is one of my great passions. Growing up as a military child I have lived in many places and have seen things I only could have dreamed. This zeal for other places, cultures and adventures has led me to want to visit and see as many places as I possibly can. As an aspiring journalist, there is nothing more crucial than learning about other people and their customs. This experience enables the journalist to become less judgmental, better understanding of others, and better able to communicate. Traveling shows a journalist there is more to the world than just the United States and these countries are just as important.

As an undergraduate, I had three majors at Western Kentucky University: Photojournalism, News/Editorial (Print) and Spanish. Along with these, I minored in Women’s Studies. I have a desire to be a writer and photographer for a travel magazine, where I would love to cover Spanish speaking countries. That is way this class would be such a great opportunity. There is no other way I would like to spend my summer than to travel to Puerto Rico, meet new people, and take as many pictures as I possibly can. Please consider me for this trip, I am hard working and am able to handle the work load of a shortened course.
