For most people, the first day of college is fast paced, exciting, but very overwhelming. Coming from high school, the University of Montana was a huge change. I attended Lake Oswego High School which is located 25 minutes from Portland, Oregon. I chose the University of Montana, because the moment I walked on campus, I was hooked. My name is Emma Smith and I am a Journalism major. I have always been a big dreamer and when the University of Montana sent me a letter about GLI (Global Leadership Initiative), I knew it was exactly what I needed to fulfill my dream career. I have a passion for helping, connecting with others, traveling, and solving problems. Global Leadership Initiative is a program with the goal of training students to become leaders with the expectations they will enter the world with skills capable of solving local, national, and global issues.
I applied for GLI and I was accepted! I ended up in a class called “Can Giving Change the World?” The only thing I knew walking into class was that giving definitely has the power to change the world. Little did I know, giving has so much more power than simply changing the world.
