My Achieves in College: Past and Future

The most beautiful experience that I had in college was in the second semester of my second career. I was taking 21 credits because and I had just changed from biology to politics (at that point) and it was the only way to graduate. My mom got sick, she was two weeks intensive. During those two weeks, my colleagues, both those in biology and those new to the political career, became a family for me.

They lent me their apartment so I could take a bath between classes, they brought me food, they stayed with Mom in what was in the university or they took me to my house to look for clothes, the faculty took me notes of the classes and they sent them. There I understood that the best thing that the university gives you is relationships, the friendships that will last a lifetime, because they share the bonds that always bind them. I think it was at that moment that I took a love of study, beyond the student and social life that is wonderful. That was when I took root, that feeling that we are a team, in good and bad.

Once I made the decision to study at this university, it is unconsciously or consciously to leave behind the fears that previously prevented me from carrying out my objectives and at the same time being in front of a new challenge in life. That positive attitude and adventurous spirit, will give me a differential that companies and personal life value greatly. You also have to keep in mind that I want to be more independent and be self-reliant, because I will not have the usual circle of friends and family to solve the situations that come my way.

The personal trust I want to achieve is something that is made up of different factors and has to do with opening up to new people and situations that I did not know before. I want to learn to understand other people, to work in multicultural environments, to move like a fish in the water in any international environment. Multinational companies usually look for these profiles, since they need to have people who can adapt to any cultural pattern that comes their way. And since the labor market is changing and vertiginous, they need people who do not have problems with this.

I want that ability to get out of my comfort zone and adapt to unfamiliar situations, to realize what I have become; in a person with a high adaptability to changes. I will feel ready, with experience and maturity to face any change that occurs in personal or work life, and take the changes as something positive.
