Intercultural Understanding is the ability and willingness to see things from a different cultural perspective. It is respecting different ideas and lifestyles and recognizing that your culture is not superior to others. I think it is important to explore other countries and cultures in order to expand your horizons and become more aware of the world outside of the United States.
    I feel fortunate that I go to a school that puts a strong emphasis on intercultural understanding. I have had many opportunities to learn about different cultures and improve my ability to effectively communicate across cultural boundaries.
