Educational Journey
When it comes to attending university, I thought it would be a great experience to do so abroad. I
was passionately inspired by what I saw and the way that I was able to be a part of the cultures
that I visited in a way that I would never be able to do in any other context unless I had studied
abroad. I decided that I wanted to bring that experience to others as well so when I returned from
my session abroad I went to the school counselor and told them that I wanted to share these ideas
with the rest of the school. A session was created with the sophomore class in attendance and I
spoke about the cultural experience I had while I was living abroad and why it is so important for
other students to experience this for themselves.
The speech was very powerful and I was mentioned in many of the other student’s personal
statements when they were applying to college because I was able to motivate them to go and
study abroad. By studying abroad, the students were offered a perspective on respect for foreign
cultures that could never be obtained inside a classroom and they were ready to become better
citizens of the world. Having been a part of Harvards summer program was a huge influence on
my life and a blessing that allowed me to bring my experiences back to share with my own
school.
If every student had the opportunity to do the same thing it would mean that the world would be
a very different place full of understanding and people who know what it means to be a part of
something that is bigger than themselves. Students would learn to be citizens of the world and
have a new level of tolerance which might lead to world peace.
