Extracurricular
Foreign Study
I am a constant learner. I love learning in all aspects of life and that is why I have moved and am in the process of moving to three different countries in this past year.
The first country I moved to was Greece. Greece falls into the middle eastern culture more than it does the European. Throughout my time in Greece I learned how the middle eastern people live, eat, interact, and speak. I took Greek classes and learned how to speak and write elementary Greek. During my time in Greece I traveled to five Greek islands, Belgium, Spain, Ireland, and Switzerland.
The second country I moved to was England. England was extremely difficult to settle into due to the fact that I perceived it to be very similar to my own culture but quickly found how different it actually was. I learned how to speak and write in British English which was very challenging. My assessments were all required to be written in British English which required me to study it very ambitiously. During my time in England I traveled to Tenerife, The Netherlands, Ireland, Iceland, Poland, and the Czech Republic.
Lastly, I am in the process of moving to Thailand.
Throughout this process of moving I have learned how to adapt to new cultures and situations, made friends all over the world, studied how to appreciate the aspects of different cultures and my own culture, learned how to work with different types of people, and learned how to overcome problematic situations.
