Lets Do College

The email from Professor said, ‘look at this – it’s a great opportunity!’   It happened to be a small announcement about a trip to Turkey, a scholarship, all expenses paid.   “What?” I said.  “Turkey?!?”  “What do I know about Turkey?”  I continued to myself;  very little.  Let’s see, high school world history, Mediterranean Sea area, the Bosphorus…The Bosphorus!  Wow!  The Dardanelles.  What are those?  What must that be like?

Do I want to go to Turkey?  I never thought about it before.  It must be very exotic, scary, the last stop of the Orient Express!  Looked it up on Google maps, like I learned in Geography class the previous semester.  I wonder what the Golden Horn is like?  I typed in “Turkey” on search, and saw the most beautiful scenes.  It looks kind of like … Greece?  (Check map).  Yes, it’s very close to Greece.   Wow!         What should I do?
