My name
is Essence Joe and I recently transferred from Middlesex county college located in New
Jersey to the University of Maryland. I plan on majoring in microbiology or
ecology and eventually do graduate studies in epidemiology, which deals with
the distribution and control of diseases.
This
is my first alternative break trip and I'm especially excited, because I will have
the opportunity to explore the Native American culture beyond books and movies.
I've always had an interest in their culture and the people, to the point where
I spent two hours watching a movie about lacrosse, because Native Americans
inspired it. It should be an exciting experience to walk in the shoes of the
Lakota Native Americans for a week and I hope to gain a new insight about their
people that I can share with others.
