In the summer of 2019 I was selected to take a trip to Senegal in West Africa. The premise of the trip was to conduct interviews with various peoples from the country to learn and understand their culture and way of life. This trip was very important to me because it helped me to realize my passion for sociology and the exploration of people from all over the world.

Before this experience I had never been to a developing country before. Through my experience my entire sense of reality shifted and I am forever grateful for the lessons I learned.
