Many students feel as if true knowledge can only be obtained through textbooks: however, there are students who realize that employers are looking not only at GPA’s but at experience in the area of which one has their degree. I believe in America, one can easily become subjected to achieve common goals. The common goal many Americans are trying to achieve is the American Dream, but to me the American dream is mediocre. The study abroad program provided me with the opportunity to grow and help become a better person in three specific ways. First, it has provided a way to view life outside the box. Second, it has provide me the ability to develop a map to achieve the goals I set out for myself. Ultimately, obtaining the mind set and maturity level one will need to be a productive member in this global society. With developing these skills I have been managed to apply my life experience both negative and positive towards everything that I do. If you think about how a battery operates. Your able to quickly learn that it takes both negative and positive energy to push anything forward. With that being said learning how to take the negative with the positive produces the ability to make any situation beautiful! -Dietrick Mitchell-
