Ellie's introduction
Hi, my name is Catherine Ezzell, but everyone calls me Ellie. I am from Houston, Texas, and am 18 years old.
I am currently enrolled in American University, but have decided to defer a year. I love languages. Because of my Mexican heritage I speak Spanish and spending a year in Rennes, France, taught me French. I cannot wait to go abroad again.
I love hanging out with my friends, reading, dancing, and generally living life. Right now I am working as a personal assistant. I love my job, but have to remind myself to slow down and enjoy life. I am a nature girl living a city life (that I love) of cafes, thrift store shopping, and late night freeway driving. So, to fulfill my nature girl instincts, I go camping with friends and volunteer at a local community garden.
I am excited about the prospect of spending a semester in India. It inspires me and I know it is the right thing for me to do in my life.
UPDATE: I spent the fall semester on Global LAB's Morocco program. You can read some of my thoughts about the experience here.
