"Pearson has taught me that there is always something to learn from the world around you. I never would have thought that a group of people coming from vastly different backgrounds, countries, and cultures could live harmoniously together. I never would have imagined finding friendships in such a short period of time that I will hold onto forever. Pearson has taught me to love my country and culture but to also find love
in the culture of others. It has taught me to care, to be kind but strong and to take chances while making the most of each day."
