| Meeting my host mom in January of 2016! |
Before I write more blog posts highlighting
students’ experiences and various emphases, I want to take a moment to introduce
myself. My name is Anna Ostrander, and I’m a USP alumnus from the Spring 2016
semester. I graduated this past May from Lee University with a degree in
chemistry, and I plan to go to graduate school to study environmental science
after this year abroad.
Something our staff likes to talk about at
the beginning of the semester is the idea of one-degree changes. Simply put,
USP does not aim to be the “life-changing” experience that so many expect from
a study abroad program. Rather, the conversations and thoughts brought about by
USP result in a one-degree change in a student’s life trajectory. A one-degree
change does not alter one’s course in an obvious or immediate way, but after
many months and years and seasons of life, a person finds that one degree has
actually led to quite a large divergence in the path and a big difference in how
she or he sees the world. In my own words, USP is not so much life-changing as
it is life-lasting.
While I love the idea of the one-degree
change, personally USP produced a more significant and, in some ways, immediate
change in me. Perhaps it was my mere age and naïveté that made me especially malleable
and receptive to change (I did USP as an 18-year-old freshman in college), but
I’d say I experienced something closer to a 50-degree change. Reflecting on the
past few years, USP has shaped my worldview in ways that I am still
discovering. It expanded my view of God, made me more comfortable with
difference & tension, gave me a greater appreciation for answerless questions,
challenged me to value people over productivity, and continues to remind me to
be present and grateful.

USP is such an integral part of who I am,
so coming back to be a Program Assistant was the most natural thing I could
have done. This program and this beautiful country continue to surprise me in profound
ways, and I am in awe of the people I get to work with every day. I’m excited
for the opportunity to guide students through this journey and look forward to sharing
more stories and updates as the semester goes on!
Peace,
Anna Ostrander
