Jalah's Journey to Study Abroad

Hello friends, family, and anyone else who may see this! My name is Jalah Johnson and I am a Junior at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte double majoring in International Business and Marketing. It is my goal to take on as many opportunities as I can to further myself academically, professionally, and personally. 

I recently have been blessed with the opportunity to study abroad in Australia through the TEAN Abroad program, I will be attending Macquarie University, studying Marketing and International Relations in the Spring of 2017. I am looking forward to taking a dive "down under" and surrounding myself with new people and places in a completely different environment. 

It has always been important to me that I take any steps necessary to challenge myself in any way that I can. My aim is to show people, especially those that struggle with anxiety and depression, that exploring the world is possible and achievable with the right tools, and that where you are now is not where you're meant to be. Doing this program will be an immense step for me in reaching my personal goal of finding ways to help people realize their potential and my academic goal of challenging myself and taking my education to new levels, that is why I am asking for your support! Any assistance, whether it be financial, or just a promise to keep me in your prayers as I go on this journey will be appreciated, and received with all the love I have to give. 

I thank you in advance for your support!
