Student Introductions 7

Today's introductions are from the residents of Tent Cheetah Girls, Elegant Elizabeth and Athletic Anneka!

Dumela, leina lame ke Elizabeth. I'm an incoming junior majoring in Environmental Science. I am a part of the Liberal Arts Honors program, Green Geeks, and Alpha Chi Omega. I enjoy running to the capital and around the green belts in my spare time. I am very excited to be in Botswana gaining hands on experience in the realm of sustainability and conservation. Plus, learning about all of the wildlife is amazing as well! I would like to thank the college of liberal arts, LAH, and my wonderful family for supporting this trip and helping me get here.

Dumela! My name is Anneka and I am a Biology and Plan II major at UT going into my junior year. I've been wanting to come explore Africa for as long as I can remember, and I'm very grateful to be here. I would firstly like to thank my 5th grade science teacher, Mrs. Volshenk, for nurturing my love of biology when we dissected a fish. I would also like to thank the creators of National Geographic magazine for teaching me about the world and inspiring me to travel. I mostly want to thank my parents for giving me the opportunities to travel and live around the world. Mom, thank you for preparing me well for this 6 week camping trip and always being so supportive of adventures. Dad, thank you so much for making this whole experience possible, without you this would still be a dream. Lastly, thank you to all my friends and supporters who encouraged me to come on this trip and explore one of the few truly wild places left on earth. Love, Anneka
