Undergraduate / "the true beginning of my education" - BROWN supplement [12]

here's my eassy i need all the help i can get and im open to any suggestions or comments

PROMPT: French novelist Anatole France wrote: "An education isn't how much you have committed to memory, or even how much you know. It's being able to differentiate between what you do know and what you don't." What don't you know?

Education isn't how much you can cram in, how much you can memorize, or how much you know. Education is being able to acknowledge that you don't know all there is to know and willing to learn. From school I learned how to read, write, multiply, add, subtract, and divide. From my parents and church I learned whats right from,how to walk and talk, take care of myself, help others, and the importance of love and God. From the world I learned that things aren't always what they seem, to help those in need, and that everyone is unique and special. I've acquired some knowledge these 17 years of my life, but I know there's more out there in the world. There are many things I haven't seen, places I've never been, books I've never see let alone heard of. This is the true beginning of my education. Its like all the other stuff I've acquired until this year were my prerequisites, the foundation to the beginning of my education.

Graduate / Advice needed .. Essay on outside home country experience [4]

needs alot of work and i think you need to write more.

"analysts all of whom belonged to a different nationality than me.The project was the first experience for me of working closely with people outside my home culture."

analysts from different nationalities. This project was my first experience working closely with people outside my culture.

"Adding to it was the fact that most of the team was located in US and our interactions were mostly through video or tele-conferences. I felt that although individually everyone was contributing their bit, as a group we lacked the camaraderie and bonding which was imperative for focused team effort and superlative performance.I sensed that the cultural differences were acting as a barrier in creating the collaborative team spirit. This prompted me to make efforts to learn about the people beyond the work they did."

most of the team were located in the US, so our interaction with them were through video or tele-conferences. Although everyone was contributing individually, as a group we lacked the camaraderie and bong that are imperative for focused team effort and superlative performances. our cultural differences were acting as a barrier in creating a collaborative team spirit, so this prompted me to make some effort to learn about the people and their cultures.

hope this helped
