An Introduction

Hello!

My name is Adam Stauffer, and I am just getting ready to embark on my first solo international trip.  I am very excited to have the chance to travel to China and experience a culture from halfway around the world.  I have yet to experience a trip out of the United States, and through the University of Nebraska at Kearney Study Abroad program, I will get that chance while still paying Kearney tuition and fees. This means that all of my scholarships and grants still apply to the costs of studying in a foreign country.

I can't wait to begin my journey, and keep all of you readers updated on everything I am doing.  But before I forget, I want to introduce myself as well.  As I said, my name is Adam. I am going into my Junior year of college with this trip, with a major in Organizational Communications, emphasizing in both Marketing and Literature.  I hope to work either in the marketing division of the ATP, or in the sales department of a publishing house.  I believe this trip will help me with both.  Not only will I be taking classes and learning a new culture, but it will also teach me important lessons about taking chances and working to make my goals and dreams into reality.

I truly hope this experience is a good one, and I will do my best to keep you updated as often as I can. I will post at least once a week for sure, but I would have to guess that it will be even more frequently than that.  Thanks for reading to anyone who does, and I hope you enjoy hearing about the trip as much as I will enjoy going on it. :)
