Why did you want to become a Global Scholar?

Especially in reaction to the conflict between Israel and Palestine, I have developed a strong passion for global issues and my role as both a global citizen and an outsider in international causes. To have access to a platform for through which I may become a scholar of global causes, histories and existences excited me; it was absolutely an opportunity I felt I needed to take advantage of.
