Richard Nzekwu

Hello! My name is Richard Nzekwu and I am from Nigeria. I am going into my fourth year at Northeastern, with a major in International Affairs and a minor in French. I am especially excited at the prospect of studying French culture through movie comedy. As an avid film lover, I consider this a very interesting way to study the culture, and I am confident that the experience will impact me profoundly. I also would like to practice my spoken French in order to achieve significant fluency by the end of the program. My goals for studying abroad are to learn and appreciate the differences between my culture and others, and to gain autonomy and confidence in a different culture. One fun fact about myself is that although I am an International Affairs major (and HATE math), my dream job is to work for NASA and become an astronaut. I am extremely interested in traveling, nature, trying new foods, taking pictures, and meeting people from different backgrounds and nationalities! I hope you enjoy reading this blog as much as I enjoyed making it!
