Leo estudia Mercadotecnia y obtuvo la Beca Uni para estudiar un semestre en South China Business College. Aquí nos cuenta su experiencia.
When you entered Uni did you know there were international programs?
Sí lo sabía.
When you entered your career, did you think you would go to live and study abroad?
Era mi intensión estudiar en el extranjero y me gustó la idea que la universidad contara con esos programas, es por ello que apliqué para la beca. Esperaba que pudiera ser posible y lo bueno fue que pudo ser.
Have you ever lived or studied outside of Mexico before?
Sí viví durante algún tiempo en estados unidos estudiando high school.
What prompted or motivated you to study in another country?
La interculturalidad, me gusta aprender lo que hay en otros países, explorar nuevas oportunidades y aplicar lo que pueda en mi entorno; creo que la experiencia internacional te abre muchas puertas y te prueba en muchas otras.
Why did you decide to study in that country?
Era un país que me llamaba mucho la atención, para aprender sobre la cultura y el idioma.
How did you feel when you arrived in the new country?
Curiosidad y emoción ya que estaría en un país donde el idioma que hablaban era diferente a los que yo dominaba, así como que estaría un semestre completo.
How have you been received at the university where you arrived?
Bien, fueron muy atentos ya que pasaron por mí a la estación de tren de Guangzhou, después un alumno me dio un breve recorrido por el campus y me acompañó a comer; posteriormente organizaron una comida de bienvenida en donde fuimos todos los alumnos de intercambio y nos hicieron sentir muy a gusto.
What will you miss most about Mexico?
La comida, a las personas y el clima.
What about the Uni?
Amigos, actividades y maestros.
What is the most exciting thing you have experienced so far in this experience?
Aprender un nuevo idioma, conocer nuevas personas con un pensamiento diferente, conocer lugares diferentes y probar una gastronomía distinta.
And the hardest part?
Adaptarse a la comida, ya que es muy diferente a la cocina mexicana, los horarios, huso horario, el clima tan cambiante durante el día y a veces tan extremo, que haya tantos mosquitos.
What do you expect as a person and as a professional from this program?
Poder relacionarme mejor con otras personas, entender la cultura desde una perspectiva no turística, entender el idioma y probarme que puedo desempeñarme en un país tan diferente al mío. Ser más tolerante y ser más humilde e independiente por las condiciones en las que viviré estando fuera de mi hogar.
Do you recommend these opportunities provided by Uni to your colleagues?
Definitivamente sí, porque se adquiere una experiencia inigualable y una perspectiva diferente después de experimentar la estancia en el extranjero.
