Episode 14: Oliver Twist, The Mayflower, & why every vote matters
In this episode, Sarah catches up with a friend from Belmont University, which is where Sarah spent her freshman year of college before transferring to AUP. Georgina, a British expat who has lived in the UK, Spain, NYC, & Connecticut, all before graduating high school, has truly lived as a ‘third culture kid’ through and through, and is something she has learned to wear as a badge of honour. The girls discuss its challenges and struggles; of cultural barriers and stereotypes in the US, and abroad alike, as this tumultuous year begins to come to a close. An open, lighthearted, yet extremely topical and honest conversation unfolds through anecdotal stories of Georgina's childhood leading to what has shaped her into the person she is today; a college student in Nashville, Tennessee eager to travel the world and continue on her life's journey as a 3rd culture kid wherever that path may lead.
