Um, I had wished for my family to experience what I was experiencing
It makes me smile because one of the most, um, one of the most profound things that might international experiences have had on me is my, um, spiritual growth.
Um, and there were times where I, um, was filled with so much joy and a little bit of guilt that, “Why was I having these amazing experiences?
Will my siblings ever get to, you know, hike this hot air balloon like I did or climb at the top of this mountain or, you know, pray at this beautiful Blue Mosque or, you know, lay, um, you know, see these centuries old, um, uh, ruins from the Greek and Roman times?”
And so I just wanted to share my experiences, you know, with, with my family. Um, and it was a craving for both, you know, um, company and it was a craving thing for a desire to make, uh, my experiences available to others.
When I was in Turkey, uh, on this Fulbright Fellowship, um, we had some State Department officials come and talk to us about careers in international affairs. There was also a meet-and-greet with the U.S.
