Information Station

I guess at some point I just need to include a whole lot of information about who I am and what I'm doing so that way when people like my grandma read this they will be in the know.

My name is Molly, I'm nineteen years old, and I just finished my first year of school at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. I am a recently declared Community Leadership and Development major which I'm really excited about. That major is housed in the school of human ecology and it's kind of underground for those madisonians reading this thinking, "Wha? I've never heard of that major before." I hope to do work in the non-profit sector after I graduate. With this major you are required to pick out 15 credits to help you specialize, or get on track to the career you want...I'm planning on having some sort of urban issues or inter-group relations specialization. Then again, life is crazy and [I'm still deciding whether or not] I'm indecisive, so who knows where I will really end up.

While at school I joined a fabulous student organization called AIESEC, and if I were to meet all brand management guidelines I would say that AIESEC is:

Pronounced "eye-sek," was founded in Europe in 1948 and has grown to over 80 countries with over 50,000 volunteer members on 700+ university campuses.

Together, we pursue our mission: To contribute to the development of our countries and their people with an overriding commitment to international understanding and cooperation.
In pursuit of this mission, AIESEC facilitates work abroad exchange programs between its member countries. AIESEC in the U.S. sends students from the U.S. to gain practical work experience abroad and receives individuals from around the world to undergo training with companies in the U.S. (http://www.aiesecus.org/about.aspx)

Now, what does that really mean? I guess the answer to that question is just: A LOT. It means we do a lot, which is why I'm still trying to figure it all out. The reason I am so concerned about brand management: haha I'm not actually that concerned but I am a member of the AIESEC Madison Marketing: Brand Management team, and also a new member of the Salaam Team!

Truthfully, I made a slight change to the "standard paragraph" (aka the orange one), for some reason they had the quotations around eye-sek inside the comma! I'm not sure what that was all about, fun fact #1: I HATE incorrect quotation punctuation, rule of thumb: quotes ALMOST always go the farthest outside they possibly can, aka after periods, commas, etc. And if we're being completely honest, fun fact #2: grammar isn't really one of my strengths, so if I am wrong about all of this--don't tell me. I've always been under the impression that it was this way, and I don't want that to change. (Like when John Fink got to college and found out that the 2nd weekday was in fact spelled TUESDAY, not tuseday, damn)
