My experience in PISA: PISA has finally helped me realize my long-lived
interest in people from other places in the world. Through PISA I have learned
how to interact with people fomr different backgrounds and learn about them. I
have also learned how different cultures have different boundaries, and made it
a point to learn how to be as accomodating as possible to all the different
mentalities and cultures I have encountered.

What I've learned through PISA: I have joined PISA during my first semester of college in Fall of ‘08. At first, I hesitated to join PISA because I felt that I wouldn’t have enough time
to go to the meetings, take part in PISA activities and get to know other
members. However, it turned out that PISA had a great impact during my first
year of college. While joining PISA, I have a great opportunity to learn about
other PISA member’s countries and cultures while also sharing mine. I feel that
PISA is a place where I can relax after the busy week of school.
