My Experience Of Being An Exchange Student

I live in Mexico City with my mother and both of my siblings. My mother is Mexican, but her mother is Lebanese; however, her father is Mexican. My father, who is American, lives in Vermont with his brothers; along with their Lebanese father, and Mexican mother. I was raised and educated based on a combination of all their cultural backgrounds. It’s ironic how my family has always been united by a strong bond when nowadays there is barrier surging from these three specific countries.

Colegio Del Bosque is the school that taught me how to be independent, responsible, and polite. It is the teachers to whom I owe my desire to always give my best; however, my friends are the ones who made me see my creative side; they made me believe in myself. As a child, I had the opportunity to experience new chapters in my life that helped me change the way in which I see the world. In 2015, I was an exchange student for two semesters at Mount Anthony Union High School in Bennington, Vermont. During that year, I realized how different their culture was compared to mine. I specifically noticed how students from all social classes were having the same education in one big classroom (something that will rarely happen in Mexico City); this curiosity made me eager to learn about the differences and similarities both cultures seemed to have. Reading and participating in both economies helped me see society’s everyday life struggles. Learning about the enormous social inequality that not only Mexico but that the majority of the world currently faces, has given me the desire and motivation to someday square the circle. Throughout my high school years, I’ve done PowerPoint, Word, Excel, and Adobe Photoshop certifications. I was recognized as an honor student roll during my exchange student year, as well as receiving an excellence diploma in science. In 2016 and 2017 I was

I was recognized as an honor student roll during my exchange student year, as well as receiving an excellence diploma in science. In 2016 and 2017 I was the only student of my entire class to participate at The National High School Contest in computer science in Anahuac’s University; I as well participated in the 2018 National Robotics League Contest. I was also chosen as one of the twenty delegates of my class to represent Colegio Del Bosque in the GCIMUN International High School Conference in New York City in May 2018. As for today, I am taking a beginner’s finance course at the Academy of “Bull&Bear” in Mexico City.

Hult’s International Business School mission and vision that offers students will help me expand intellectually. My goal is to someday change the world, in order for this to happen, I must gain the ability to guide and lead others, learn how to develop new and better ideas, challenge myself, and take risks. I want to study business to expand my creative intellect, as well as to strengthen my communication and negotiation skills. Working in a multicultural community will make me step out of my comfort zone. The experience of traveling and discovering the unexpected has the power to develop different open-minded solutions that could solve worldwide humanity problems. I am convinced that even a small business or a single innovative idea can someday turn out to be the change that the world needs; by creating an impact in people’s lifestyles without having to hide their different geographic or demographic characteristics.
