Meet Kelly McClenathan!Hi! My name is Kelly McClenathan, and I am a rising SENIOR Tri Delta from St. Petersburg, Florida. I am a Psychology major and a Spanish minor. I would really like to go to graduate school for Speech Pathology and become a Speech Therapist for Spanish kids but I actually don't really want to graduate college. I love Rhodes so much. These 3 years have flown by SO FAST and I can't believe I am already a senior!! I don't think I have ever been more excited to start school August 26th though.
This past semsester, I was abroad studying in Buenos Aires, Argentina and have missed my sisters so much! At the end of January, my best friend and Delta sister, Maura Mohler (on my back in the picture!!), and I boarded a plane with 4 of the biggest suitcases you have ever seen to Buenos Aires. That trip had to be the best six months of my life. There wasn't much school involved (I had class on Mondays and Tuesdays starting after 3:00 pm) but learning about the country of Argentina, their people, and their culture was unreal. You will hear a million times throughout college to study abroad and I'm not kidding you... do it.
One of my favorite parts of my trip (and my life) was a 13 hour hike in Patagonia. We hiked 5 hours to a glacier, strapped on our crampons so we could trek across the glacier, then climbed up a wall of ice with ice picks, and then hiked 5 hours back. We also went to Carnaval which is Mardi Gras but a hundred times bigger. It was an amazing experience and I'm pretty sure I want to live in Buenos Aires when I'm older.
I returned to Memphis just in time for my favorite holiday (July 4th) and have been here with some of my Delta sisters this summer. It is so great to see them but I can't wait to see everyone else!! This summer, I have been nannying, working for a blind man, and finally experiencing Memphis as a 21-year-old! I can't wait to meet all the new freshman!
Delta Love!!! Kelly McClenathan
