Hi friends.
This topic I want to talk about is very deep and complex and I understand that it might not be a topic everbody wants or feels comfortable to talk about.
Today I had a lovely student born and raised in the U.S. but with her parents being from a different country with a very different culture.
She and I talked a little bit about how she feels being in the United states versus being in her parents home country and it got me thinking.
Have you ever thought about what kind of person you might be, had you been raised in a different country?
I, for sure would have been an entirely different person, had i grown up here in Mexico where I live now.
We might be the same person but how big is the part of your character that is being influenced or formed by the culture you live in and the people that surround you?
Again, i am so thankful to be working on this platform and the variety of people and cultures I get to know. It has broadened my personal horizon so so much.
Thank you students and fellow tutors!!

That’s an interesting reflection. I must say coming from Colombia and living in Germany one feels the difference a lot. On one hand, I feel really grateful that I lived in Colombia and I could experience a more open culture, but on the other hand, I feel more secure in Germany and I feel that my opportunities are much wider than back home 
.
. I feel lucky because I know I get to learn so much from other cultures here in Germany and moreover in the platform.
) Having lived in two completely different worlds I now have such a bird’s eye/ broad view of the world which I do not think I would have had otherwise. I was incredibly lucky, and I still am.
