Human
Rights weekend was an eye-opening experience for me. I stood half way up the
hill at the village we were staying at looking out to this amazing view of
African scenery really starting to reflect on why I came here in the first
place. I have been so busy and having so much fun here that I never really
questioned my motives of coming here in the first place. This beautiful scenery
doesn’t really hold the answers to my questions of why I came here. There is a
picture on Facebook of me staring out into the abyss in this magnificent garden
and these are the exact thoughts that were running through my mind.
Once
the festivities of the weekend began, I also began to realize my true interest
that lies in world politics. I was part of the Zimbabwean nation that ended up
winning the fake prize money from the World Bank at the end of the weekend.
While doing certain exercises with my country, a passion was being fueled in
me, a passion for politics. I was really fascinated by how different countries
operated under certain circumstances in comparison to how we operated under the
same circumstances. Human Rights weekend really got me to start questioning my
motives for my future which is something that confuses but definitely excites
me.
