What I Expect from Paideia

I applied for the Paideia program last year after I consulted a friend about student organizations last spring. I was looking for something that I could add to a busy schedule but at the same time I can better myself by getting involved in the community. She suggested Paideia and I was very skeptical but applied just for the experience. I signed up for this particular section because upon receiving the section list, this one stuck out to me. I am an animal behavior major and I find psychology interesting thus I chose the psychology section. From Paideia I hope to become more involved in the community. I also need a non-stressful class that can get me involved in something off campus.
I not really sure exactly where I want to study abroad but I would probably narrow it down to either Germany or an English speaking country. I am currently taking German courses but since I am a science major I would rather focus on something along those lines. So as far as where, I have to see what programs are offered.
I think it would be really cool if we can do some sort of mentoring program with one of the local schools for at risk children. I did some tutoring for an elementary school my senior year in high school, and it was really rewarding to see the kids get excited to do their work when we showed up. Kids really look up to us, so I feel we could make a difference.
My only worry is that I am going to have an overload of work. So far I am feeling confident but becoming over whelmed is always a worry in the back of my mind.
