When I was a young girl,
my father used to tell me about the cultures of many
countries. I liked the stories a lot. At that time, my
father told me these stories because he believed that
studying abroad would help me to understand other cultures.
I learned my father’s lesson very well and therefore always
dreamed of studying in the U.S. because I thought that
studying in the U.S. would help me to be a world citizen.
After finishing high school in Korea , I came to the U.S. to
get a college education. I decided to study at LaGuardia. It
was a big step for me to approach my dream. At this college,
I have gained knowledge and broadened my horizons day by day
because I have met many friends who have different cultural
backgrounds. I have made friends with students who come from
Greece , Mexico , Hong Kong , Jamaica , Venezuela and Russia
. I have discovered that all of these new friends are proud
of their own countries’ cultures. These experiences at
LaGuardia with people from other places have allowed me to
consider other culture’s points of view while at the same
time giving me a deeper understanding of my own culture. |
