I have begun to realize how many questions that are unanswerable throughout all of the areas I will be visiting including here in DC. This includes looking deeper into the foundations and theories behind health system constructs. Is globalization helping or hurting underdeveloped countries? How do social inequalities affect ones lifespan? Does conservation play a positive role in globalization? These questions are a few of the many that will be further analyzed throughout the semester as I make my way across the world.
I am so excited for this wonderful opportunity. The experiences I have had have been wonderful!! I even was able to go on a run by the White House!!:) I have begun to realize how truly privileged I am to be with such a wonderful group of people on a program such as this! I am so grateful to be able to learn more and more about what I love each and everyday. Hard to believe I will be in Vietnam in less than two weeks!
I hope all is well with everyone!!:) Please feel free email me at hmiller@mail.smcvt.edu; I would love to hear how everything is going!:)
