So, as I prepare to finish my final year of grad school it crossed my mind how many different people I’ve met. I’ve been friends with people from: Brazil, Venezuela, Guyana, and Italy (to name a few). I made more lasting friendships with them then I did my fellow Americans. Is it that the U.S. has such a 'give me mines now' type attitude? Or, have we just taken for granted the power of just 'smiling' and getting on with our day?
There once was a time when I didn't smile at people (let alone look at them). It wasn't because I disliked them; it was my way of focusing on my goals. After I was asked to work for Disney, I found that there is a whole other world that I knew nothing about. I tried new and exciting foods, dances and cultural behaviors. It was such an eye opening experience that I went back.
