Lucy AmonJuly 2014

International, Educational, Hands-Off, Inspirational, Prepared

Going to Robert Burns' hometown and the house where he was born for my birthday with a few of my friends in the Butler program. His writing was the reason I wanted to study there so I was thrilled to get the opportunity to go to his birthplace and see where a lot of his inspiration came from. I wanted to study Scottish Literature in Scotland, and Arcadia is the program that my home university worked with for all Scottish programs.
