my first international experience
In 2010, for the first time in my life, I left home to come study marketing at Wichita State University, in Kansas, USA.
Where I have to adapt to a totally different culture and I have to learn to speak English.
At Wichita State, 4 years later, I have made friends with students from Brazil, Paraguay, Colombia, Mexico, Canada
Venezuela, Kenya, Nigeria, Liberia, Congo, France, Spain, Germany, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, China, India, Sri Lanka Malaysia, Indonesia, Nepal and USA.
I have live off campus with three roommates from different countries. I have also live on campus dormitory for one year, and currently, I am living with 2 roommates from India.
I have learn a lot. For Instance, I have learn that they are things all human share no matter where they are from and one of the best way to connect with different culture is trough sport. In Kansas, It was basketballs, and baseballs.
I participated in a lot of cultural events. With my Hindu friends, we celebrate color festivals, with my Muslim friends, we celebrate the Ramadan and with my Christians friends, we celebrate thanksgiving. I also eat and try so many different foods and learn a lot about diversity.
