Hi there
please give me your comments
topic; Describe a setting in which you have collaborated or interacted with people whose experiences and/or beliefs differ from yours. Address your initial feelings, and how those feelings were or were not changed by this experience.
Mixing and interacting with other people weren't my favorite interest, I was usually staying alone in my room with my computer or books and couldn't appreciate the importance of it. However, my family forced me to participate on a summer program in King Fahad University of Petroleum and Materials (KFUPM) and I have to live in its dorms for about four weeks. It was like a nightmare for me, even before I went there, I felt that it is not appropriate for me. I didn't know that will be the most beautiful time in my life.
In my first day, I saw the students coming from many countries and cities, but inside me, I was waiting the opportunity to withdraw. The managers putted every three student in one room, I was with a new people who I had never seen them before, and I wasn't comfortable, living with new people with different culture and habits was very hard to me. My first days weren't very good, the program was about engineering and group working skills, so I had to communicate with my colleagues to do my tasks, and I also made limited relations with my roommates, but that's all changed after I met him.
His name is Ryan, he was one of the students who enjoy their time, and has a lot of friends. I hated him in the beginning, I don't like these kinds of people, but he was different. Everything changed as he transferred to my room, he tried kindly to make me his friend, and always invited me to his group to work together, but I just ignored him and prefer to stay alone, but he came and told me that I should enjoying my time, staying alone like this won't help. These simple words affect me more than anyone could expect, I believed that I was walking in the wrong path, and now it is the time to correct it.
I started by changing my old view about the people, I was seeing them as obstacles prevented me from reaching my goal, but now I see him as supporter I can't achieve anything without them. I also completed the rest of the program without any problems. That experience has ended a long time ago, but its effects shaped who I am now, thanks to Ryan, because without him, my feelings toward others would stay the same.
