Hello! My name is Sophie Meads, I am majoring in Family Social Sciences on the track for Family & Community Engagement in the College of Education & Human Development, and I am a Junior! I am originally from Minneapolis, I am a T1 Diabetic, just like Acharn Cat, and I love frogs!

One learning goal I have for myself while experiencing Thailand and studying abroad, is to get out of my comfort zone and push myself.  This is going to be an amazing and very different experience from anything I have ever done and I am looking forward to challenging myself in regard to my flexibility as an individual.  I can struggle greatly with change and my ability to adapt to new situations so I am very excited to go to a place so different from what I am used to.  I hope to learn a lot about the culture as well as myself!
