Graduation Speech On My Exchange Year

Different cultures and to travel was always my biggest interest, my next goal is to learn more languages starting with Italian, and to explore new cities. That’s why I always wanted to continue my education in a new place and to be in the big apple since 4 years is a big opportunity for me not only as an education but also as (bisey bul) to have friends from different countries and learn about new cultures is one of the best knowledges that I could get to improve myself as a person. One of the best options that FIT offers is to do an exchange study in another city for a semester, which also got my attention and probably would be very excited to try this option that the school

Adapting to a new environment is challenging for most people who first go abroad to study, so a person must be resourceful and resilient. When encountering numerous challenges, you should find some solutions to overcome it rather than give up. There is nothing quite like being on your own in a foreign country. You might find that studying abroad really brings out your independent nature. Students who study abroad become explorers of their new nation and really discover the curiosity and excitement that they harbor. A benefit to studying abroad is the opportunity to discover yourself while gaining an understanding of a different culture. Being in a new place by yourself can be overwhelming at times, and it tests your ability to adapt to diverse situations while being able to solve the problems. I believe studying abroad bring me a lot. It not only makes me improve my English but also make me how to solve the problems when I

You get to live fully in the culture and be absorb in the community, in how they live. You get to see a different way of life that is not normally seen.

During the experiment I learned a lot of valuable things that will help me when I do decide to travel out of the country. I have experienced a few culture shocks but nowhere near as much as I did during this experiment. I really do not understand how people could travel all the time to a new country with a different culture all the time. Even though it may be exhausting to visit other cultures, it still would be an interesting experience, just not all the time. I have been told it is awesome to go through it but before I go, I am going to a few things. First, I am going to research some of the different aspects of the culture and why they do the things they do. This will help me learn about them so when I get there more the experience would make since. Also, I would ask other people what they thought about the culture, but I would not completely rely on them because everyone views new things differently.

Traveling and learning about other cultures have been an important part of my life. I am actually planning on taking a gap year between high school and college. I believe that the experiences and world perspective I will learn while my year in Italy as an exchange student will bring a unique perspective to the honors college. I also will be increasingly open to others openings, helping to create a more open learning environment, which I hope will pave the way for a success if I am admitted to the honors

Plus I feel that this experience abroad will teach me how to better adapt to those around me making it easier to make connections and working with others in the future when it comes to my career. I am also interested in experiencing a different way of living, because I have always heard that America is the land of over consumption, but this is merely a phrase to me and I think that seeing how other countries use their resources can help me create and develop new ideas as to how we can improve the environment in the United

They select sixteen teenagers from around the nation to travel to another country and learn about a selected topic. Although extremely difficult to get it, this past summer I was selected to be one of sixteen American Youth Ambassadors and travel to Cyprus to learn about environmental programs. While there, I stayed with a Greek Cypriot host family and Turkish Cypriot host family. Although both sides consider themselves Cypriots, it was extremely interesting to see how they differ as well. Each family showed me their family customs, typical meals and common hobbies. Both had wonderful distinct cultures that were amazing to see. Each family had traditions that were very different from my ones back home, but they were so interesting. I hope that in college I’ll be able to study abroad to have a similar experience

In conclusion, having the experience to interact with international students. Society is increasing globally and welcoming other cultures. America has adapted to others and picked up on a few traditions from other countries. Schools and other institutions are providing better ways to communicate with individuals from diverse cultures. I am grateful that I can become more globalized and more aware of others around me. I can gain experience from people with a different culture and use the experience in everyday

I came to Texas A&M knowing that it had a great study abroad program so I decided I would use it as an opportunity to travel before I graduated. However, for mechanical engineering, is seems that most programs are reserved for students during their junior or senior year. Unfortunately, I was planning on using those summers to earn internship experience, so traveling during that time wouldn’t be very practical for my career. So I decided to look towards a study abroad programs this summer that were available to freshman within the college of engineering. The reason I chose to do the Hong Kong Exchange instead of another program was because I wanted to : transfer engineering classes to my degree, improve my international communication skills, and ultimately to gain a new view of how another culture tries to solve a problem. But I didn’t just choose this program for its convenient timing.

This event was called the National Student Exchange Information Session. It was led by Erika Benhardt who coordinates the National Student Exchange program. She describes it as having the opportunity to travel around the country and Canada to experience a new setting. Whether the reason was to expand knowledge of a new location or just something to try, most students came back satisfied. Students can apply for a one semester or a full year exchange. The costs include an application fee along with regular tuition and expenses. There are two tuition payment versions. Plan A is paying the away school's instate tuition and Plan B is paying Stony Brook's tuition. She also mentioned that some students choose to go to Puerto Rico because of the low

English class seemed to be the most dreadful to take within school. Writing essays for most of my grade in a class is not what I was looking forward too. When I entered college I knew that it would be one of many challenging classes I would have to take. Starting from the lowest English class to moving on up, the writing assignments became longer and more thought out. The time came when I got into this class that I knew more work was going to have to be put into essays and thus brought out what I had not seen before in my work progress.
