What have you
done since you graduated?:
"I attended Norwich
University in Vermont from 2014 to 2018. I
graduated with a Bachelor of Science
Degree in Psychology. After graduation, I
left my job as a Behavior Interventionist
and entered the U.S. Army as a
Transportation Officer. I started my
career in Fort Lee, Virginia at the Army
Logistics University. Six months later, I
moved to Germany where I currently reside.
Last year, I started my Master’s Degree in
Nutrition and am on track to graduate this
fall."
Why did you
move to Germany and how is it different
from America?:
"When I first joined
the military, we were able to submit a
“wish list” of preferred duty locations.
Germany was my first choice, and I was
fortunate to receive it. It would be
difficult to capture all the differences,
so I’ll list my top three:
1. The cost of
travel. I’ve flown to London and back for
as little as $15! This is the number one
thing I’ll miss when I move back to the
U.S.
2. Sundays. All
stores are closed on Sundays and work is
prohibited. This includes activities like
mowing the lawn, car maintenance and the
use of power tools. At first this was
extremely inconvenient, but I’ve grown to
love quiet Sundays.
3. The speed
limit on highways. On most highways
(“autobahns”), there’s no speed limit."
