| Introduction | I was born in Bozeman, Montana in 1985 and lived there until the age of 18. In 2003, after graduating from Bozeman High I ventured to Portland, Oregon to major in Political Science and German Studies at the University of Portland. In 2004 I spent the year abroad in Salzburg, Austria and did a large amount of traveling around the entire European continent. Naturally this experience abroad gave me the travel bug and increased my interest in international affairs. Although I have always been interested in politics and the law, I have become more focused on international matters. This past year I completed my senior thesis on the impact of the 2000 German Citizenship law changes on Turkish Immigrants. Hoping to continue my research in Germany, I based my research proposal on my senior thesis and was granted a Fulbright Grant to live, study, and research in Germany for the 2007-2008 year. I will be residing in Duisburg and attending the University of Duisburg-Essen. |

Which is easier to make a model airplane out of and why: a banana peel or a wet sock?
A banana peel: the sections of peel become perfect material for wings and the body of the plane. The black tip would make a good nose of a plane. If that reasoning doesn't convince you then consider this: a wet sock is probably smelly and you don't know where it has been. Do you really want to launch that in the air?
