My name is Jolina Obligacion and my major is nursing. My study abroad program is in Athens, Greece. Reading Greek mythology in middle school is what first sparked my interest in Greek culture. Through this study abroad program, I'll be able to immerse myself in Greek culture and visit historical sites, which I'm super excited about. I also hope to be a travel nurse one day, so studying abroad should help prepare me to live in a place I'm unfamiliar with.

I am so proud to accept your award for my Summer 2022 Study Abroad Program to Costa Rica and Panama with the Allied Health Program at Fresno City College. I hope that this endeavor brings a better understanding of health care across the globe. I wish to make strong interpersonal connections with the people I meet and broaden my network of health care professional connections. I look forward to learning more about the Costa Rica culture and how I can help improve lives of patients in their communities. Thank you for this tremendous opportunity. What a dream come true!
