Changes

I lived in a cornfield in Iowa until I was 18 and had never moved until college.[[File:Holly Crawford 2.JPG|thumb]]

I am a sophomore junior Entrepreneurship and Undecided International Business double major at the University of Oklahoma.  I am a big believer in the importance and power of a dream, and I live to empower others, so being a teacher was always something I strongly considered. As I entered college, I discovered a passion for entrepreneurship, and specifically for social entrepreneurship, which has been shaped by research projects and internship experience.  Because of this, I now know I want to pursue a career working with social good startups locally and internationally before completing graduate school and . I would strongly consider at that point returning to a university setting to be an entrepreneurship educator.  

I am a firm believer that as this world is becoming more interconnected across continents, we can't afford to be left behind.  I have studied abroad for one summer in Arusha, Tanzania.  This was a study and a service trip as I committed 20 hours to serving in an HIV clinic during my time abroad.  I also have plans to spend 'm currently taking a semester abroad in Ecuador to study social entrepreneurship in fall 2016a global setting. My comfort zone and my Spanish-speaking skills are being stretched every day in the best of ways.  These experiences have and will continue to give me a broader worldview and an understanding of cultures which are different from my own.  I also plan to apply for the Fulbright scholarship upon completion of my undergraduate coursework to spend a fully-funded year abroad working, volunteering, or furthering my education.
