In addition to my visit to Finland I have visited Jamaica four times and also have traveled to the Caribbean Islands and Mexico. International business is becoming increas-ingly more important, and although I have received great education while in college, I am eager to par-ticipate in this program because the first-hand experiences I will have cannot be equaled here in America. another culture, make international contacts, andgain valuable international business skills. Within this program I assume that I will experience different points of views from the American professors who will be teaching. I am confident that I will succeed as a student, as an American representative, and as a tourist in this program because of my many travels abroad and strong desire to succeed. While in Finland I stayed with a host family for a week and lived in a school with forty different delegates representing ten separate countries. As a sixth grader I participated in Children's International Summer Villages in Finland. It truly was the best time of my life. Along with these different points of views, the Italian culture and interacting with other American students will be experiences I could not otherwise have.
