On the day of my graduation, I encountered my friend wearing this black robe, and he opened his robe, and he was wearing black T shirt with white letters on his chest that said educated. Inside, I was like, what? You think that it's over because we have a degree?

I've always been really driven to learn from experience.

And I had studied international development, so I'm not related to communications at all. And on the day of my graduation, I encountered my friend, acquaintance, really. And he's wearing this black robe, and he opened his robe, and he was wearing black T shirt, white black butters on his chest that said educated. And I gave him a high five, and it was our day. Woo hoo. But inside, I was like, what? Like, you think that it's over because we have a degree? Now we, like, know what there is to know. And it just struck me as so absurd. I've always been really driven to learn from experience. I feel like that's the real teacher that I was so hungry for. So I did the obvious thing, which was I planned. I booked a one way trip to India, which was the focus area that I had studied.
