Studying abroad is often challenging, requiring participants to be open-minded and persevere in sometimes isolating circumstances. describe a personal experience in which you were similarly challenged to demonstrate these qualities.

I was in am exchange program which required me to go work for a year in another state with different langauge and diffrent culture

Explanation: in this situation I had to work in a supervisory position which made it even more challenging because most of the people didn't speak any English hence it made the communication very difficult so I had to rely in my other skills such as using display activity to let them see what I expected from them and I had to rely mostly on a translator.

The most important though was to actual embrace that I'm with people who don't share the similar culture and I had to pay special attention to things that are allowed and things that aren't allowed like things which are see as offensive to their culture .

Learning about their culture and asking questions was very important in order to make sure that I acknowledge their culture with respect. I had to be patient and not put much pressure on myself and just use every isolating time to an advantage of learning , because you always find yourself isolated in a foreign land due to langauge barriers and to the fact that you don't know anyone.
