Everything that I tried and experienced left a mark on me and helped shape who I am today, but the martial arts carry a particular weight, as the practitioners take up philosophies and principles in addition to the physical training.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In her own words, Tuvshinzaya reminds us that the Watson Fellowship\u2019s uniqueness is \u201ca chance to pursue your quirky passions and childhood dreams over a year of independent and meaningful travel.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She encourages everyone at Berea to apply because, \u201cEven the planning and daydreaming are full of surprises and self-discovery!\u201d Please visit the Center for International Education\u2019s page for additional information: legacy.berea.edu\/cie\/thomas-j-watson-fellowship\/.<\/p>\n<p>Applications are due on <strong>September 15th, 2015 <\/strong>if you are graduating in December 2015 or May 2016.<\/p>\n<p>The Thomas J.
