Mattie was one of 17 Wingate students who participated in the Fall
2006 Wingate-In-London program. The group of juniors and seniors
lived together in flats and studied art, history, theatre and
English literature with one Wingate faculty member and British
adjuncts. Mattie grew up in a small town in North Carolina not too
far from Wingate. She enjoys reading, watching movies, hanging out
with friends and family, and art (especially photography).

Hi there everyone! My name is Mattie and I
am a senior who will be traveling to London with the
Wingate-in-London program this fall. All summer I was looking
forward to the trip and all the excitement that it would bring. Well,
what I didn’t think about was all the things that I would
need to do to get ready, the shopping and the banking, plus all
the family that I would need to see before I left. Now that it
is a week till we all leave, I’m getting a little stressed. The
fact that I will be gone and that I only have seven days left in
my bed kind of makes me sad...I know that I will miss all my
family and friends but I will grow lots closer to the others going on the trip and meet
many new friends that I will miss when I leave to come home.
Well, to make this introduction as short and sweet as possible, I
should go back to cleaning my room so that I can drag it all
back out again to put it in my massive bag. Will be writing
again soon, possibly from the other side of the pond...
