Yesterday, I was reading the newspaper and they have an article entitled,"Global trade puts kids astride 2 cultures". Talks about the pros and cons of having students migrate and adapt to a new academic envrionment. I was really intrigue how the article felt that American students are growing fast and students in foreign countries such as India do not. Is it because we keep on bombarding our young students advertisements of "stuff". I grew up in the Philippines, and whenever people ask me which place I would prefer, I still don't know. I mean I like the idea to raise my family with the Filipino values I have at the same time I want them to have the great opportunity I have here. One thing that I learn when I migrated her, and that is to be appreciative and thankful for what I have. It is really an eye opener when you see with your own eyes and expereince two different cultures. Seeing people who just accumulate "stuff" and see another group of people who do not enough really changes one's perspective in life.
