1. What were your most meaningful learnings?
There are two major takeaways!
Culture - Latin American culture is amazing! With a slower pace, it is much more relaxing comparing to the hectic lives in big cities! All the locals are very welcoming and inclusive as well, which is fantastic, can’t wait to build up more connections.
Assertiveness - I got to understand this quality much more from the inspirational session. It is, in deed, a lesson to learn throughout the journey of the six weeks.
2. What challenges did you face?
Language barrier - Spanish is fun. As I am still a beginner to this language, I need to learn more in order to communicate with the locals. My buddies all work very hard on spanish which encourages me to work harder on it!
Assertiveness is meaningful yet challenging too. It involves self-understanding and interpersonal skills, which are two major areas to work on.
