England summary
My trip to UK made me think about different things, such as how good is International Relations, diplomacy, making friends, being a part of other, foreign country for some time and see everything with your eyes… when I asked Alice what she thinks about international relations she wrote me this:
Alice: "it's good because you learn new things about other cultures... you learn to be tolerant.. "
Not only did my experience in England increase my social aptitude, but also greatly improved my understanding of the world as a whole. When I returned to school in the following weeks, I could grasp the concept of different cultures and countries. They were no longer simply spots on a map, but real places filled with interesting people leading fascinating lives. I was able to accept the fact that not everyone lives like me and not everyone needs to. My language classes became my favorite subject, and I excelled in them. I realized that I wanted to have a career that would allow me to often travel and perhaps live in a foreign country for some time. I now strike for excellence in language ability as well as understanding foreign politics and beliefs.
I know I have already been very lucky to be given the opportunity to travel to a foreign country like UK. However, these experiences should and will continue throughout my life. The effect that this has had is enormous and extremely influential. Cultural understanding and acceptance is possibly the most important issue in our world today, and I hope to be seen as an example of the benefits of such thinking. The world is becoming smaller each day, so we must work together to bridge our differences.
