CARA NICHOLL, TIBETAN SUMMER 2007
Cara took part in all the workshops, events, activities and excursions with great enthusiasm. “…everyone was very supportive and knowledgeable and I felt completely safe and secure. Knowing this made my trip 100% better.” Is her comment on program support services.
Passage continues to take interest in our students’ paths into the future. Cara is about to graduate and this is what she writes:
“Since leaving from Nepal, I have completely immersed myself in schoolwork. As I am a senior Religious Studies major, I had to decide on a topic for my senior thesis and I quickly chose Tibetan thangka paintings and deity yoga, which is a topic that I love.
One of the most significant highlights of my senior year came with my trip to Egypt. I would have loved to get to know Cairo better, since it reminded me so much of Kathmandu.
I recently got accepted into graduate school at the University of Washington as well. Before I left for Nepal, I was leaning towards applying to graduate school to train for a career in the Middle East and working to solve problems there. Since leaving Nepal, I knew I definitely wanted to study South Asia, not only to help out, but also to possibly live in Nepal one day. Hopefully this dream will become a reality!”
