I’m beginning to understand that cultural differences are much more than just differences in language, food, appearances, and surroundings. Your culture reflects very deep perceptions, beliefs, and values that influence your way of life and the way that you view the world too. Opportunities like this help to discover new strengths and abilities, overcome new challenges, and solve new problems. Coming across situations that are really unfamiliar to you, you begin to learn to adapt and respond in effective ways. I don’t think Id before that I was on the road for potential success.
