“Learning about the British healthcare
system is very important to me as an
aspiring medical student,” Maxwell
said. “I hope to travel and help people
around the world with my degree, so it’s
important to be able to work in many

Maxwell began her six-week journey
on May 11, enrolling in Harlaxton
College, where she attended college-led
excursions to cities throughout England
such as London, York and Cambridge,
as well as a weekend trip to Paris. Her
time in England comes just as London
is celebrating the Queen’s Diamond
Jubilee and preparing for the 2012
Summer Olympics—a once-in-a-lifetime
experience.
“I am excited to be able to venture
out and learn about different types of
cultures,” Maxwell said. “I feel so blessed
and very honored to have received such
a wonderful scholarship, and there are
no words to express my gratitude and
thanks to the Woodwards and everyone
who made this possible.”

it marks 60 years of Queen Elizabeth II’s
reign. It is absolutely spectacular being here
in England while history is taking place.
