Brandon Hill, RBS 2011 Highlights "Year On"
January 20, 2012
One Boy. One World. One Year.
In planning for his freshman year, Brandon has elected to take what is known around the world as a gap year, a year typically spent traveling and working before entering college. In his version of the gap year Brandon and his family have designed a grand tour like no other.
Having recently completed his domestic exchange at Morehouse College in Atlanta, Georgia--the prestigious alma mater of Martin Luther King, jr. and the nation's only all Black male institution--he now prepares to leave American soil to circumnavigate the globe on a Semester at Sea voyage. This shipboard education program enables its students to live, learn, and travel aboard a floating university. This year, he will sail to twelve countries on four continents, engaging hundreds of cultures and meeting countless people. Ports of call on this year-long sojourn include:
Nassau, Bahamas, Roseau - Dominica, Manaus and Rio De Janiero, Brazil- Takoradi, Ghana - Cape Town, South Africa - Port Louis, Mauritius, Cochin, India Singapore - Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam - Hong Kong and Shanghai, China -Yokahoma and Kobe, Japan - Hilo, HA, USA - San Diego, CA, USA.
Following his Semester at Sea, Brandon will intern in Washington, D.C for the summer. Then, he will begin his freshman year at Stanford University in the fall of 2012. Indeed, this is no ordinary year-off. It's a Year On. Year On: Official Trailer II
