It seems most evident to me that my strengths lie within my
ability to spark a conversation with just about anyone. I like to think that I’m
approachable myself and so I can keep a conversation with someone else. I also
think that I’m a very patient person, so I think that will help me as I become
adjusted to the culture. However, I do think that due to the drastic change in
culture, I will have an understandably tougher time trying to connect with
people. As well, I’m terrified by the language barrier. I understand that a lot
of Thai people speak English, but the context in which we understand each other
will be drastically different, so I anxiously anticipate the difficulties that
will come along with trying to overcome these linguistic barriers.
As for being American, I would like to make a point to show
that our sense of freedom and nationality is not as detrimental as foreign
countries think that it is. It seems there is an air of arrogance that is
usually associated with Americans, so I would like to debunk that falsity. At
least, explain that not all Americans are like that.
