Michelle Ward- Traveling

I have been very blessed to have the opportunity to begin my thirst and quest for seeing the world at a young age. I remember the first time I went to Italy. It was one of the most eye opening experiences. I loved seeing how the different culture and society functioned. After we spent our first week in Italy, I knew I wanted to live overseas at some point in my lifetime. When I was younger, my father travelled a lot for work. He would return home with a slew of presents for my brother, sister and me. I used to ask my father to bring me home miniature statues of landmarks from the countries he was going to. He brought me back an Eiffel Tower, A Great Wall of China, A Sydney Opera House, a pyramid of Egypt and a few others. But my favorite and by far his most difficult to track down was the Big Ben clock tower from London. He couldn't being home just any Big Ben.. I required it to have a clock that worked. What, a pain. Low and behold, after spending the only spare hours he had running around he city of London, he called my mom and assured her he had located the clock! Daddys are the best.

This summer I am traveling abroad to Cambridge University. I am so excited to spend the summer in England. I plan on returning the favor to my dad, and bring him home a Big Ben clock that works!
