Guest Perspective: Learning to Bridge Cultures: A Few Lessons Learned from a Continuing Journey
Like many, my understanding of culture grew through my experiences over time. I grew up as a Hispanic woman in a predominantly Hispanic part of Texas. When I went away to a school in the North, I quickly learned I was different than many there. Nearly every interaction was a cross-cultural one. It made me stronger, took me out of my comfort zone, and taught me that adaptation was necessary, not just for survival, but to be successful. It also gave me a whole new respect for a wider and more diverse world.
