When I left Switzerland, my life changed com-pletely. I had not known what I should expect or how would be affected in education, sophistication, and personality through my stay in the United- States. Coming from a small country and not having traveled outside of Europe, I was not exactly what people would call a sophisticated man. Now I believe that I am a little more aware. Not only did I learn about the United States, but I also learned tremendously about other fascinating cultures. Most of all, I learned to understand and to accept other cultures. Living in a new country and learning about new cultures has been, I believe, the most important experience in my life.
