Adriana Ganci
Hometown: Delaware Water Gap, PA
Favorite part of Global Scholar: The very best part of Global Scholar was the people! You get to meet kids from all over the country (all over the globe for that matter) who hold similar interests to you and have an interest in learning. Every student learns from one another. The counselors were some of the coolest people I've ever met. They weren't too much older than us so they were never speaking down to us. They taught us in the most incredible way and they were all sweet and absolutely hysterical. They taught us just as much about life as they did academics. And all of the speakers (and there were quite a few of them) were incredibly knowledgable and held very respected positions in their field. In addition, the food and amenities definitely rocked (yeah sorority houses!), as did the trip to DC!
Wants to travel to: EVERYWHERE on the globe! But if I had to pick my next few stops they would be Morroco, Turkey, India, Italy, France, Kenya, & Chile (ok so thats kind of a long list...)
Global issue of most interest: Currently, my issues of most interest are relations with Iran and relations with Russia, as well as China's economy and humanitarian issues.
Hobbies: Laughing, acting, traveling, cooking, learning, writing, standing up for a cause, teaching swimming (my very cool job), watching live theater, sleeping, making music, listening to all genres of music, sleeping more, and talking to people from all over this counrty and the world! |
