As a current student who recently returned from a study abroad, I hope to encourage students to experience what travel has to offer through participating in one of the programs offered here at Brigham Young University. While travel increases personal knowledge and growth to both you and the people who interact with, it also provides the means to a better understanding and a more complete society.

I plan on answering all three of the "big" questions mentioned in our reading; "What exists?", "What is good?” as well as, "What should we do?" However, the main question I will focus on answering is “What exists?” I will do this as I give students more information about traveling programs.

I plan to display a variety of options for those wanting to study abroad to learn of diverse people and cultures, as well as those who are interested in a specific area of study. I plan on researching as many possibilities of travel as possible. I hope to learn of every study abroad offered at the university, so that any student, no matter what interest they have in mind, will see how many incredible opportunities are offered through Brigham Young University and maybe, just maybe, students will accept the challenge and start their adventure today.

I want to eliminate all doubt and worries. Time, finance and uncertainty being my main concerns. I will do this with giving details about possible scholarships, a few words of wisdom and counsel from authorities. This will inspire traveling and experiencing new things and will appeal to those who are seriously considering upcoming expeditions but are slightly hesitant about actually carrying it out. I hope to replace excitement instead of fear and to inform students of how many incredible expeditions are yet to be had.

The other two questions are simple. “What is good?”, and “What should we do?” As I share personal stories and offer testimonials of current students, I hope this will definitely allow readers to realize just how “good” travel is. The other, “What should we do?” involves action. My purpose in writing is to inspire learning and creativity through travel. If I accomplish this goal, students (readers) will be more likely to look into studying abroad and excited to do so.

Throughout my editorial, my aim is to keep a positive tone while still being persuasive. In such a way that readers feel both informed and motivated.
