Hello!  I'm Susannah and I am a University of Maryland Education major who studied abroad in Senegal.  For the first two months of my adventure I was living in the neighborhood of Mermoz in Dakar and taking classes at the West African Research Center (WARC). Then, for the next two months I interned at the Adja Penda Ba school in the village of Nioro du Rip.  Now back home, I hope to use this blog to look at Western-culture through the eyes of someone who had the privilege to live in a very different country for a few months.
