What engaged or excited you most about learning when YOU were a student?

My engagement with the international community as a student guided the trajectory of my current academic path. The global perspectives enriched my learning experience, which resulted in making new friendships and connections that strengthened the scholarly interests that continue to define me as emerging academic. These interests continue to evolve and expand. My relationship with the international community gave me multicultural insight to the way people process information, and it was transformative in deepening my own understanding of cognitive processes relevant to my cultural background.
