Vocation

Yesterday I was reflecting on the ways Marsh Chapel welcomes international students as I was talking to a student conducting interviews for her class. Her first contact with Marsh Chapel was through Global Dinner Club. As I reflected on my time here, I remembered first meeting Brother Larry through the FY101 (First Year 101) class–we met in Robinson chapel every week to debrief and we went on field trips in Boston. That was when I first felt welcomed to the community as an international student, and I am thankful that Brother Larry led the class. Throughout my sophomore year, I went to a few Sunday services and events like Global Stress Relief Day. I always saw Marsh Chapel as a warm, welcoming place for all students. I hope I can attend Global Dinner Club and Shabbat dinners before I graduate to interact with those in the community I don’t usually meet and to learn more about their culture and belief system. I aspire to contribute to making others feel as welcome as I did when I first arrived at BU.
