Option # 1: How has your perspective of life changed after comingo to America?
When someone spends all his life in the same country, his perspective of life does not change. After being to another place with different culture, his thinkings will probably be modified. This process takes time to happen -- that is what I have been going through.
Only two weeks have passed, but I have already learned a lot from my hostfamily, teachers and classmates. The more I get to know about other people's customs, the more I feel comprehensive and respectfull about them. This is very important to overcome a lot of stereotypes we have about foreigners, and make the relationship better among countries.
I would say being in contact to all these people has made me a better person. When I say contact, I do not mean superficial conversations, I mean real life experience together to them, sharing thoughts and feelings about different issues. I really expect to learn till the last moment I have here, and also keep in touch with them after the end of the quarter!
