Back in October, I learned about a study abroad program that my school MSU Denver would be offering during the summer, which allowed students to learn about healthcare in London and Dublin. At first, I wasn’t sure about going. I had never been to a foreign country, didn’t have a passport and the trip was a lot of money. I brought it up to my parents, who thought it would be a great opportunity. The more I thought about it the more I realized it was a great opportunity to learn more about healthcare and experience a culture outside my own. So in January, I registered for the trip and applied for a passport. By April my passport had arrived and my trip was paid for. Thanks to a generous donation from Eaton Senior Living Community and Kris Gerken. Some financial responsibility was alleviated, which allowed me to have extra spending money for food and souvenirs.

Chickpea noodle soup is a vegetarian take on the classic chicken noodle soup. Instead of chicken, it has chickpeas. It’s one of my go-to soups because it is simple and delicious. Perfect for when you’re feeling under the weather or carving a classic comfort food.
