This experience changed my life. As an expat-kid throughout middle and early high school, I was able to travel the world and grow up with an extremely broad understanding of different cultures and people. Being the only American attending a school with 60 different nationalities I faced many challenges. However, it became a fundamental learning experience that I have grown to appreciate everyday in my social and professional life. The privilege of experiencing more than 40 different countries during such formative years, as well as uprooting my life and becoming the "foreigner" taught me how to understand and work with different people and cultures from all ends of the Earth. Ultimately, this truly expanded my scope of the world and the opportunities it holds. I feel as though this experience has set me up extremely well for business conversations, navigating the many different fonts of people and places around the world, and my adult life in general.
