"I had not only endured but also conquered one of the most challenging experiences in my life. I was a different person, more confident, more resilient, and with an open mind. As a business student I know the expectations of the business world. I know that with the adoption of globalization, borders are being torn down, mom and pop businesses are becoming global, and the everyday business man/woman is becoming an international man/woman of mystery. The knowledge that I gained is second to none, and I could not have learned these things in a book, a classroom, or at home; the key is the experience itself."
