    What does it mean to be a " global citizen " or a " global leader "? These past eight weeks have allowed me to submerge myself into various cultures and situations to define these key terms. Global citizens engage with other cultures, while global leaders do more. Every group of individuals have some form of culture that dictates their beliefs, values, and action. Within our beautiful campus, we have one big inclusive culture composed of various cultures. Navigating these cross-cultural interactions may be heard but embracing these encounters with an open mind.

    As someone who aims to work in the field of addressing climate change and achieving sustainable development goals across international borders, I have always sought to learn how to navigate differences in opinions. Having grown up in five different cities across India, and now living in a sixth place across the globe, I assumed I was well-versed with differences in thoughts, cultures, and values.

    During our Boston trip, I became very aware of my own discomfort. It dawned on me that I had never been on the subway, nor had I been to such thought-provoking and vulnerable performances, and nor had I had the chance to really explore a city. I grew up in a small town, where you ran into someone you knew during almost every outing, public transportation was limited, and cultural diversity was low. Compared to my peers in high school, I always felt I had a better understanding of different cultures and the accompanying values and customs given my upbringing and open-mindedness.

    Culture shock is normally painted in a bad light, and that's understandable enough. Having moved nine thousand miles away from home to attend classes here at Dartmouth, I've definitely had my fair share of unpleasant experiences – for the first couple of weeks or so after I arrived on campus, I went to bed every night completely exhausted. It was hard getting used to college, life in America, all the new cultural circles I found myself in.
