Weaknesses:
1) Learning to be more go with the flow.
2) I need to work on being more flexible
3) I will have trouble leaving my family
4) I will have to adapt to the high or
low context being a slightly low context person.
Which I am
working more everyday on the learning to go with the flow aspect of life. The flexible part is going to be the hard one
since I have OCD and need to have a schedule and everything wrote down and
planned out. Leaving my family will be
extremely hard, but I will still get to see them through technology and talk to
them I will be said, but I need the experience of independence such as this
study abroad. My context will hurt me
depending on where Italy falls on the low or high context side.
Strengths:
1) Being mostly independent
2) Being mostly open
3) Having the capability to want to
adapt for the culture
4) Being a Low range Low Context Person
Being for
the most part independent has given me the ability to work and learn on my own
that I can do anything if I try and attempt to succeed. Being open will help me immerse myself into
the culture faster and hopefully open me up to talking a little more about
myself in the process. I want to change
in some ways to help me adapt into their culture, so I have the willingness to
adapt. Yet again the low or high context
can effect which way I will go being a slightly low context person.
My American Culture:
I want to bring my culture in the ways of Patriotic
(as a part of a military family, but not overly so), the southern style foods
we love, The way I talk or the language I use,
What sports I watch, How I dress, How I act, Traditions, and more. Most importantly I just want to be me and
adapt into their culture while sharing mine.
