 I visited Fairfield on a college campus tour and I fell in love with it. It was beautiful. It was green. Everyone was really sweet to us. Everyone was smiling and waving. I went into college as an Italian major and then when I was introduced to the idea of international studies and politics, that's when I fell in love with it. I believe my niche is humanitarian work and I found my niche through Juhawn, the Jesuit University Humanitarian Action Network. My first trip to Ecuador was eye-opening to say the least and life-changing. I went to Nicaragua for a class for research. I went back to Ecuador and also Tanzania. It makes you feel responsible to those people and accountable to the injustice that happens to them. Like I just feel that if I live this life, someone else has to live almost the same life as me. If I'm experiencing a great life, why can't I give that to somebody else? Three out of the four of my trips I was fully funded, so Fairfield actually connects you to a whole network of people that both influence your study and your future. Fairfield offers so many different experiences and opportunities that there's no way you can't find your niche at some point, you just have to keep searching for it. You will fall in love with every bit of your Fairfield experience.
