Cultural Differences

Studying in Chapel has allowed me to meet people from all over the world. I have met people from Japan, Spain, India, Canada, Germany, Sweden, Korea, etc. All of these people have introduced me to completely different cultures throughout my whole life. One of the things that interests me the most is to learn about different ways of looking at the world. My biggest curiosity would be how the world looks like in another person's eye. It is incredible to think that we all have different perspectives and that life would be completely different if we thought in the same way as another person.
This might sound a bit cliché, but my biggest dream is to travel around the world. I have left Brazil once in my whole life, which makes me feel a bit sad and imprisoned. Studying at Chapel has opened up my eyes to different lifestyles, making me extremely curious and wanting to learn more about them. What amused me the most was that I had the chance to live with people that had completely different ways of thinking and beliefs. An example would be whenever my group of friends consisted of asians and latin americans. This might sound a bit stereotypical but the differences between them was very amusing and interesting. It was a bit weird for me because I have always lived in Brazil but raised in a Taiwanese family. This made me understand both sides of the story, while still not compeltely understanding how they could be so different. The best part of the story was that independent of their differences, we could all still hang out together.
