Hi there,
I was trying to think of something humorous or witty to say, come up with some joke or creative saying...but I couldn't come up with anything....
So matter of fact, I just finished my LAST final examination of Undergraduate EVER!
I have only a few days left here in Singapore and then I will be traveling back to Hawai'i to be reunited with my husband and for us to walk at graduation ceremony on May 17. Shortly after that, we will be packing all of our belongings and moving to Colorado to begin the newest adventure of our lives and to see where God will take us.
Thank you for all the love and support during my time abroad. Special thank you to my scholarship donors and Shidler adviser for the ability and support to study here at NUS and to travel throughout SE Asia. This has been an amazing, growing, challenging, and rewarding time.
In a very formal sense, this was my personal statement in coming to Singapore:
My purpose is to be immersed in the Singaporean lifestyle, both in the urban city and the rural surroundings. I feel that the soul of Singapore is alive and well, and very unique. I am a marketing and international business student and the experience of traveling to the city and country sides of Singapore and countries surrounding such as Thailand and Malaysia, would enhance my knowledge about different world views, values, and ethics, especially pertaining to eastern civilizations. I want to interact in these people groups’ daily lives, and see the world from a completely different point of view. Attending the ACCSB accredited University of Singapore in spring 2014, I would be able to learn business principles and perspectives outside of the US realm aligning with my academic and career goals.
Having just spent the last 5 months in Singapore and traveling to Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, and Vietnam plus three weeks prior to the semester in Northern India, I feel that goal was accomplished...and so much more! I was blessed with traveling, new friends, new foods, new experiences...many memories. And, I finished my degree and was able to take the exact classes I needed to. Thank you so much!
Dream on...dream big. Pray big.
