My name is Rebecca and I am 23 years old. I graduated from
Warren Wilson College (an environmental work college in
Asheville, NC) with a B.A. in Psychology. During my time there, I studied abroad in
Budapest, Hungary and different parts of
Turkey and
Israel. I fell in love with learning as much as possible about cultures. I am originally from Philly and have experienced the ghettos and projects there and in parts of
Alabama. Because of those experiences, I found it imperative to study race and socioeconomic status. I somewhat understand at-risk kids from rough environments and want to spend a good part of my life studying and working with that population. I hope to go abroad and work with street kids in the Peace Corps in order to marriage the love of cultural immersion and the love of helping kids. After the Peace Corps, I hope to figure out how to keep Philly kids in schools (drop-out rate is high). I delight in dark chocolate, yoga, biking, and my new Cohort VI family.

Rebecca is an amazing person, with a zest and enthusiasm for life that is admirable. She approaches every passion with confidence and determination. The rest of her family is very quiet! Please help her celebrate her birthday on November 5th. We love and miss her a lot. Her mom.
