AIFS Program: Limerick, Ireland | School: University of South Florida | Bio: Hi! My name is Nikki Weinkauf and I am a junior at the University of South Florida. On campus I am on a dance team and am also a member of the business fraternity Delta Sigma Pi. To say that I was excited when I found out that studying abroad was a requirement for my major, Global Business, would be an understatement. I’ve known since I was a little girl that I wanted to see the world. That’s why I know that my study abroad experience in Limerick, Ireland will not be the end of my world traveling. One quote that I have valued a lot throughout my life so far is by Ricky Martin, “A hero can be anyone from Gandhi to your classroom teacher, anyone who can show courage when faced with a problem. A hero is someone who is willing to help others in his or her best capacity.” That is why one of my favorite experiences abroad was a volunteer program where I got to help out in the community that I was calling home for 4 months. I truly believe that we all have the capability to be heroes in our own way, and I hope to take that belief with me while I travel, and I encourage everyone else to as well.
