MATCHED!

Just an update....I HAVE BEEN OFFICIALLY MATCHED! After only a couple weeks of searching, I found a great MT in Amman, Jordan...and will be leaving the week after classes end for the summer.

I came into the whole process wanting an MT in the Middle East that paid well enough to live on (also, keep in mind that I am an International Studies major, with a minor in French and a focus on Social Urban Development, who also speaks Hindi. In other words, NONE of this would help me in getting a management traineeship in the Arabic-speaking Middle East).

Buuuut, I did it! This is proof that there are so many opportunities out there that are waiting to be picked up. I've been in AIESEC for almost three years now and I finally decided that I had done enough thinking and planning for it and that it was time to just DO ONE.

If that hasn't motivated you, watch Maddie from GT's awesome video:

In couple weeks, you all will be getting regular updates from Amman, Jordan. :)
