Hey Byrds,
I just had to tell you guys about my great news. A few minutes ago, I just submitted an abstract to Truman's Student Research Conference Committee. For those of you not involved with research, an abstract is a formal summary of your research paper or essay. My paper is titled Disparities in Collective Land Rights Gains and looks at how some Afro-Latin American groups have obtained land rights and how most have not. It feels so cool to conduct research into a topic that I'm interested in. My research mentor has been a gem in this whole process. You guys should check out her website: Meg Edwards. She is so cool! She just completed her dissertation at the University of New Mexico, has received a Fulbright scholarship to research in Argentina and Ecuador, and is now teaching political science courses here at Truman State University. Basically, she has done everything that I want to do in my life. With people like her in my corner, I can have no choice but to succeed.
I want to give a shout out to my international readers! It warms my heart to see that people are reading my blog in the U.K., Malaysia, Indonesia, and so many others.
Also, if you go to Truman State, you better come out tonight to Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc.'s Stroll-Off tonight at 7:20 pm in the SUB Down Under! Alpha Phi Alpha's Black and Gold pageant girls will be represented tonight and let me tell you, we are ICE COLD. All jokes aside, it brings tears to my eyes to do this event with these lovely ladies. I almost didn't do it but the sentimental fool in me realized that there won't be many more chances to do things like this in my undergraduate career. With the Lord's will, I will be a senior next year and then it's off to the real world. So, I just had to learn a few new strolls and represent the group that has helped make me who I am today :)
Wish us luck and have a wonderful Friday!
