This week we had two exams.  We made a study group and almost everyone of the class were helping each others. It was really good. I guess the fact that we are foreigners make a special bond among us.



But these week was not all good there was a lot of stress because of the exams and today something really bothers me, there is one MBA student that likes to talk a lot, and he was making laugh of one student that does not speak perfect english. That attitude of judging something admirable  make me realize that in world people are so different. something may  appear good for you may appear bad for others, like products and marketing.

For me a student that leaves his o home country, his safe place, his family and friends to came here and experiment a new adventure of knowledge ( culture, vales, climate, etc) even though it is not in his first language is very admirable. It makes more valuable to take the risk than be in your comfort zone judging and criticizing others.
I was very angry with him because he do not see that she is better than him for doing such a big effort, even the critics will make her grow. After discussing all this with another student that had feel that kind of racism  a lot here, I realized that I was so angry because I felt identified with that student because I am really struggling with the english. I would love to express myself properly and speak perfect english but I don't. In fact it is very difficult for me.



Thinking in my way home I realized that this experience is like advertising and marketing. Nothing is personal and it not about me.  I  probably don't like some product or advertisement but for most offensive I found it, the world is not about me. There are other students, other consumers, other products, other minds, other values and we have to know how read  people and situations.
