The best lesson my parents ever taught me

                               Since I was a child, my parents used to tell me "if someone hurts you, you have only two options, you can either be nice or don't do anything to him. Do not change your personality depends on the way people act toward you". At the beginning, I disagreed with them, because I always though that if someone hurts me, I have to hurt him back, so this person would know how I felt. But after a while, I discovered that my way of thinking was wrong. When I decided to apply this advice, I found out that this lesson changed my way of viewing the society, and my relation with people around me.
       
                              
                            
                                   Nowadays, this lesson totally transform me. Before, I was  pessimistic, now it is the opposite. In the same way, I always have a positive mind, because I don't waste my time anymore thinking about what people have done to me, and how to get it back to them. In the same way, this perspective helps keep good relations with other people. Sometimes, people hurt others on purpose, just to make them angry. Being passive is a sign of maturity. However, I will always be thankful to my parents for teaching me this lesson, making me understand what is important in life and making me become mature.
                              
                             

                              

Stretching Your Positive Mind

                                     Being in this country has many good aspects. First, at MEI the environment is really comfortable for learning. People make you feel at ease, try to help you as much as they can if you have any problems and really care about you. Also, the program is intense and help us to get used with the American university life. However, we don't always focus on studies, they try to show us that even if studies are important, there is a time to relax and destress. We have to know how to balance between studies and entertainment. Finally, this country is a mix of many cultures and it is interesting to learn about others customs and habit.


                                      Aditionally, we learn how to manage things. In my country, I was not able to achieve my differents task most of the time. But now I am able to make it without any problems. In the same way, the fact of having many things to do and not enough time to make it, made me more conscientious, responsible and organized than before.
