Applying for a Fulbright Award was not on Angela Zhu鈥檚 mind while she was in pursuit of her bachelor鈥檚 degree at USF.
It wasn鈥檛 until she traveled to Ghana for a USF service-learning trip when Zhu realized that Fulbright offered opportunities that paralleled with her reflection from Ghana.
鈥淭he trip allowed me to view the many facets of how our own beliefs stop us from realizing the true impact our actions may cause,鈥� Zhu said.
Before the trip to Ghana, Zhu participated in the Global Citizens Project and iBuddy, both of which center around the idea of engaging with people, places and things that are diverse and represent different cultures.
Involving herself in these two events gave her the chance to form global perspectives, both locally and internationally.
Her success and experiences while pursuing her undergraduate degree is what helped her receive a Fulbright award to teach English in Indonesia.
鈥淢y involvement allowed me to develop more ideas and set bigger goals to pursue,鈥� she said.
Following her trip to Ghana, Zhu intends to pursue a graduate degree in public health. After schooling, she hopes to become a physician for underserved people in both the United States and abroad.
