Remembering to Live
When I analyzed Brazil's educational situation and decided to study abroad it gave me hope, something to look forward to, and to fight for. I strongly believe that attending college in Canada will be a life-changing experience for me. Not only will I get acquainted with other cultures and lifestyles,...
Leaving Routine Behind
After finishing high school, I felt as if I wasn't heading in the direction I truly wanted to. I was going in the direction my family, teachers, and friends expected me to. I believe school and education is important, but right now I don't know if psychology will be beneficial...
Me and My Camera
I am Prabhat Gurung, a junior at Caldwell University. I share my journey of how I found my passion for filmmaking and became a Communications and Media Studies major. This December I will be returning to my home country Nepal for winter break. I have planned to use my filmmaking...
Keep Moving!
I was born in Urgench City, Khorezm, Uzbekistan. I’m a filmmaker, a director, and a screenwriter. I love to make films because I want to connect with people by telling stories. My tutors are my brothers. They started their work early, they learned themselves from experiences in this world. I’ve...
Why I Want To Study Abroad
I want to study abroad to meet new cultures and have encounters with different people from all parts of the world. Also I want to attend one of the best film schools in the world and have the opportunity to make it to the top of Hollywood.
Imagination Makes Everything Possible
I just finished my career in audiovisual communication in Colombia but I don't want to stop there. Los Angeles is, since I was a little kid, my dream (I know, cliche). I love watching and making movies because I can make people feel a bunch of infinite things, and I...
Why Later?
At the age of 30, I've learned my first step of dancing. And I've never felt connected with myself like that in my whole life. From a quiet, shy person, I became a more confident one. I feel free being myself and reveal it to the world by dancing. That's...
All I Want for Christmas
Having travelled from Kenya to Vermont to New Zealand, I have literally been around the globe. And while I have tremendously enjoyed the adventure and I'm aware of how fortunate I am, I can't shake the longing for home in my heart. I have not seen my family in nearly...
The Documentalist
I’m an alumnus from Monterrey Institute of Technology and Higher Education in México, and graduated as an Engineer in Digital Music Production. I'm a Guatemalan film and editing enthusiast. I studied 5 years of my life outside my country in México, and I’m currently living and working in the Dominican...
Empowerment In Spite of Disability and Poverty
I wasn’t always disabled. I was originally sick, stuck between alive and dead, in a metaphorical hospital bed. I learned through studying other disabled people and meeting disabled friends that disability could be positive, so junior year of college I shed my metaphorical hospital gown and planned my escape from...
America by Train
Traveling is very crucial for international students who study abroad. Other than learning, traveling can help them to see the world in a different way. Other than increasing knowledge of cross-cultural skills and meeting new people, they also can gain wonderful memories and experiences that they can bring back home...
A "Kabayan's" American Adventure
We are currently studying abroad in Oklahoma State University. We plan to make the most of our program by trying out new things, traveling to different places, and interacting with different people. We also plan to visit our fellow "kabayans" here in the US by asking them how they've been...
