Neha, congratulations again on the opportunity to present Global Student’s Research Conference in Dammam, Saudi Arabia. Thank you for sharing such thoughtful and introspective reflection. Reading your last reflection on attending the New York Conference where you desired to push yourself outside of your comfort zone, you fully embraced this opportunity to learn new perspectives and immerse yourself in a new and unfamiliar culture. You were open-minded in challenging your previous understanding and assumption and tried your best to adapt while taking time to deepen your self-cultural awareness.
I look forward to seeing you embark on your LiA experience this summer!
