Here's to New Beginnings - Lauren Steele

Hello everyone!

My name is Lauren Steele and I’m from the small town of Goodlettsville, Tennessee. I’m a business management major and unbelievably blessed to be a member of the GLS Class of 2016. I’ve wanted to study abroad since my junior year of high school and I’m finally doing it. There are only three days left until our plane takes off for London and I’m filled with mixed emotions. On one hand, I’m nervous. I’ve never been outside of the country before and I’m not sure what to expect. On the other hand, I’m incredibly excited! Not only will I be in one of the biggest cities in the world, but I’ll also be living with twenty-five of my best friends. After working together to survive the challenging past semester, we sort of became our own little family. I fall more in love with these people during every minute I spend with them and I know we’ll have the time of our lives together in London.

I have high hopes for this experience. You see, my whole life I’ve had this desire to be someone, to do something. I want to change the world for the better. This may seem like a silly thing for me to say, but it’s true. I know that if I work hard enough and take advantage of all the opportunities I’ve been given, I can achieve it. As they say, the journey of a thousand miles begins with one step. Studying abroad in London will be the first large step I’ve taken and I can’t wait to tell you all about it. 

Cheers,

Lauren
