Reason for attending R-MWC :

I visited R-MWC in February of my senior year of high school. I fell in love with it all: the traditions, the community, the sisterhood.  By the time my overnight visit came to an end, I didn't want to leave. Everything I wanted was right here, and I knew that R-MWC was the best place in the world for me.

What about the Program are you looking forward to the most?

I have been an American for twenty-one years, and can talk for hours about the political landscape--the facts--of the country, but what do I really know about the culture until I see it first hand?  I’m hoping to get into law school after graduation, and a lawyer who doesn’t understand the people she’s representing as more than facts and numbers isn’t a very good lawyer.  I think the Program will give me a unique outlook on America. The ‘American Foodways’ theme seems extremely fascinating.  Plus there are no classes on Mondays and Fridays!
