Scholarship / Indian and US lifestyles - there's a huge difference, but I'm ready and well prepared for it [3]

global ugrad exchange program - why you would be a great participant?

Life is lot bigger than comfort zone

I am a young Indian girl and I love to celebrate my individuality. I am raised in a south Indian orthodox middle class family. I have been taught about spirituality, meditations and yoga by my father since my young age. I have learnt Bharathnatyam which is an Indian traditional dance and I have learnt Sanskrit a sacred language of many religions. I would love to share these great nuances of Indian culture with others.

I have been taught to follow all religions Hinduism, Christianity, Muslim and my family celebrates all festivals regarding these religions and I have learnt to respect ones individuality by my parents, which has given me great tolerance and respect for fellow being irrespective of their race, cast, and religion.

I have never been out of my country, but I had an opportunity to move away from my family and town to big city for my pre-university studies. To do things all alone on myself wasn't an easy task in the beginning but as the time turned I learnt to cook, to do laundry, to do groceries, and to be independent. Those two years taught me that life is lot bigger than comfort zone.

I have chosen to be an electronics and communication engineer. I have great passion for IOT. With regrets neither my university nor my city has courses related to IOT. Even India is slow pacer related to IOT, while in USA most universities has IOT courses and US is doing large scaled projects on IOT. I would consider this program as a great opportunity to learn about my passion.

I have seen and learnt about US education system, federal society, cultural diversity through internet and newspaper but it is a dream for me to see and study in US. No one in my family has been to America. I'll be considered as pride of the family.

I love this quote by Maya Angelou "I love to see young girl go out and grab the world by the lapels, life is a bitch you have to go out and kick ass" and I want to be that independent girl. My parents have given me freedom to choose in life and I want to show them I am being the best what I have chosen.

Through global under graduation exchange program I want to share my knowledge and Indian culture with others and take back all positivity, knowledge and experience back to my country.

I am aware there is lots of difference between Indian and US lifestyles, education system, culture, and society etc. but I am well prepared and confident to face it. I want to celebrate that difference through GLOBAL UGRAD and take a big leap towards success in my life.
