Spring Break
Two students' essays share international experience
By: Vicky Flores
Issue date: 5/1/09 Section: News
Although Dal Molin wrote of all the advantages that schools in the U.S. bring, she also highlighted how different the social environment was compared to Brazil.
Dal Molin works to help the Brazilian Student Association maintain a website to serve all international students.
Misra, who is originally from India, wrote in her essay that for her, the biggest difference between school systems was that U.S. schools were much more flexible then the Indian school in which she attained her bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering.
"I have had a really different experience and it has been wonderful," Misra said. "I just thought I would give [the contest] a try."
Misra said the United States educational program is really different from the Indian system.
"It's a place for creativity and innovation, and it has succeeded my expectations to what I had coming from India," Misra said.
