For the past 10 months I have been in Valencia, Spain. Throughout the year I took a variety of business courses, from marketing, to sales, to finance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I learned many things about culture and people, especially not to judge a culture by its stereotypes. I also learned so much about myself. I realized that when you go through new experiences, you add the things you\u2019ve seen and learned to your personality and it enhances your perspective on life. I learned that you are created by the obstacles you face, the things you experience and the opportunities and risks you take.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other than benefiting me personally, this year has contributed to my studies. Every culture teaches and practices business in different ways because they have different values. I got to see Spanish, Dutch, German, French and American business styles and approaches while giving my Canadian opinion. It was an amazing experience that gave me insight on how real-life international companies work every day. It confirmed what I want to do as a profession: work for a multinational company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Going to an international business school allowed me to network, creating life-long relationships and business connections. I made friends from all over the world, including Germany, Belgium, Italy, France and the United States. I really value this year and all the knowledge I\u2019ve gained from the professors, the students and the culture. This experience has certainly&nbsp;put into perspective the fact that there are multiple ways through which things can be accomplished.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am currently finishing my third year of International Business at Carleton University.
