From Minnesota to Mysore

Almost four days ago, I hopped a plane with 15 other students destined for India. Since then, we have had an adventure of a lifetime!

In fact, the thirty hour travel time was quite enjoyable and it began with getting to know the other group members. Of the 16 students a handful are MBA (graduate) students who are in their mid-thirties and have a significant amount of work experience in the corporate arena Their stories, accomplishments, and goals for the future are inspiring! And the diversity of the group definitely does not end here-our group includes a handful of ethnicities.

In conclusion, on the plane I was discussing all kinds of topics with Mary & Harvey and afterwards felt like I was on the brink of something extraordinary..like the group of students and I were about to discover a treasure and experience the unknown. And now that I am here in Mysore, India I have found not just one treasure but a plethera of jewels.

Very nice, Maleah. I loved the fact that you very explicitly related your experiences to your various readings and background information you got from other classes. I look forward to continuing to read this blog.
