“My experience abroad has been really important and meaningful for my personal, academic and professional life. I have had a really newsworthy cultural and linguistic learning by meeting people from different cultures and parts of the world, making new friends, developing projects, going to an American university and expanding my professional network.
Of course that living in another country is not always an easy task, mainly due to cultural shocks. However, these conflicts make me consider the importance of being open minded,which does not mean compromising personal beliefs. Being out of my comfort zone has made me grow as a human being and has kept me away from ethnocentrism.
The American way of life has fascinated me and these precious moments will surely contribute for my career as an International Negotiator.”
