Against the odds, I was lucky enough to be chosen by those lovely people at the Training and Employment Agency of Northern Ireland under the Business Education Initiative scheme to undertake one full year's business education at a college or university in the United States.
And so here I am, studying International Business, Market Research Methods, Organisational Behaviours, Promotional Strategy and Jazz in Chicago for my second semester at St. Xavier University, Chicago! Last semester, I studied anagement, arketing, acro-economics, Computer Applications in Business and Music and managed to achieve a good enough grade.
At the end of this wonderful experience, I intend to return home to Ireland to continue and complete the final year of my Bachelor of Education degree at St. Mary's University College of Education, Belfast.
I have set up this website to keep in contact with my family and friends at home while I am away, as I miss you guys, and hopefully at the same time, make you all as jealous as hell of my adventures out here!
Anyway, I hope you enjoy your visit to my experiences of America. If you have any comments or complaints to make, please email me - I'd love to hear them.
So, if you're ready, take a deep breath, step up, ring the bell, take your shoes off, enter and enjoy...
