Name: Rachel
I live: North Ryde--Macquarie Uni
I'm an exchange student from the U.S. studying at Macquarie Uni (Sydney) and interning at ActNow for the semester (Feb-June '06). I'm orginally from Missouri, a state landlocked in the middle of the U.S., so any sight of the ocean in Australia still makes me jump up and down wildly (and probably will for the next four months)! I tend to live off of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. In an attempt to live the true Aussie experience, I tried Vegemite last week...and actually liked it! I've heard that Vegemite and jelly sandwiches aren't bad. I may have to do a little experimenting. ;) How did I end up at ActNow? Mostly luck, probably. And good internship placement. But I'm also hoping that it's my drive to make things a little better. Sure, it's good to aim high and say, "I want to change the world," but mostly, if I can change the world for just one person, I'll be a happy camper.
