Brendan Schultz, YES abroad student meets CCC Bitola students

-


on June 30th, YES abroad student in Macedonia, Brendan Schultz, visited the American Corner Bitola for a very interactive presentation/discussion with the CCC Bitola students on his recent college application experience in the U.S. Throughout the hour and a half session, Brenadan was kind enough to offer very useful advice and tips on many aspects of the college application process in the U.S. especially on how CCC students could build their college lists more effectively and what factors are important when choosing a school in the U.S. 

Brendan has been in Macedonia for nine months as a current student at Nova high school and a YES Abroad student. Born in the beautiful state of Hawaii, Brendan grew up in a military family, which has given him the opportunity to live in four U.S. states: Hawaii, Virginia, Washington State, and Connecticut. Brendan became a youth activist from a young age when he started attending war protests. In politics, Brendan has worked on Barack Obama’s 2012 presidential campaign, the 2014 Connecticut State Democrats Gubernatorial campaign, and Betsy Ritter for State Senate in 2014. 

Brendan will be studying at Pitzer College, a small liberal arts college in Southern California and hopes to become a professor of political science and go into politics.
