As I prepare to travel to Paris for the 2024 Olympic Games, I am filled with excitement and anticipation. This trip will not only give me the opportunity to witness the biggest sporting event in the world, but it will also give me the chance to immerse myself in the vibrant culture and rich history of Paris. As someone who remembers the 2008 Beijing Olympics with great fondness, it was my initiation to the Olympics and has had a huge impact on my attitude towards learning, work and life since then. Experiencing the Olympic spirit first hand, the unity, sportsmanship and global camaraderie that the Games inspire is unparalleled. Meeting, sharing stories, and celebrating with athletes, staff, and fans from around the world will leave lasting memories. I am eager to learn from this Olympic course program.
In addition, this trip is an opportunity for personal growth. I am excited about the opportunity to volunteer with Team USA House; it will be both challenging and rewarding. This trip to Paris 2024 is more than just a destination; it is a journey of discovery, learning and growth. I can’t wait to share this incredible adventure with friends old and new and bring back personal stories that will enrich my life long after the Olympic flame is extinguished in Paris. Paris, here I come!
