FREE ESSAY ON STUDY ABROAD

STUDY ABROAD

Learning new cultures is my favorite thing to do. I 
interact well with others and enjoy networking with new
people. I have found that my ability to meet new 
people is a trait that makes every visit I have taken 
to different countries an enjoyable visit. I wish to 
participate in this program because it has always been
a goal of mine to study abroad.
By participating in this program I hope to 
learn another culture, make international contacts, and
gain valuable international business skills. Within 
this program I assume that I will experience different 
points of views from the American professors who will 
be teaching. Along with these different points of 
views, the Italian culture and interacting with other 
American students will be experiences I could not other
wise have. International business is becoming increas-
ingly more important, and although I have received 
great education while in college, I am eager to par-
ticipate in this program because the first-hand 
experiences I will have cannot be equaled here in 
America. 
As a sixth grader I participated in Children's International Summer Villages in Finland.
While in Finland I stayed with a host family for a week and lived in a school with forty
different delegates representing ten separate countries. It truly was the best time of my
life. In addition to my visit to Finland I have visited Jamaica four times and also have
traveled to the Caribbean Islands and Mexico. I am confident that I will succeed as a
student, as an American representative, and as a tourist in this program because of my
many travels abroad and strong desire to succeed.
