Hi Everyone!
This is the blog I'll be keeping during my 6-week trip this summer. I can't believe I'll be leaving just two weeks!!
I'll introduce myself for now so that I can jump right in when I arrive in India.
I am finishing up my freshman year right now so I'll be a rising sophomore this summer. I am in ILR, and am considering minors in business and law and society. Or something else...who knows. Outside of school, I love traveling, exercising, reading, and photography, among other things.
I'm unbelievably excited for my trip this summer. I hope to learn about policy and practice in India in terms of employing persons with disabilities, and I hope to contribute to the project assigned to me.
I'll update again once I arrive in India.
Best,
Abigail
