Multiculturalism provided me with a rich diverse knowledge from many individuals that I have connected with during the Fall 2021 term. It was truly an exceptional opportunity to be able to participate and share with others my experiences that few can relate about it and learned new things about topics that were highly sensitive, to some and including myself, but it took a great courage and bravery to have the will to go in depth and to show the true capabilities of who we are as an individual.
This opportunity was given through technological devices that helped connect myself and my groupmates to listen to each other's life story and backgrounds from anywhere in the world, not even seeing the physical body of ourselves, to remember each other if we ever met in real life. It is something to be thankful for and allowing me to release my inner anxiety and face it, to apply it in my future profession that requires lots of talking. The number of cultural topics that has been discussed in the past six sessions are really important to take in and develop one's own point of view to be able to understand and expand the knowledge that takes you into account when the time comes to re-open the subject matter. Being humble and having an open mind is very crucial in these discussions because it was all about being a true person to show the world who you are as a person.
