Anjitha, III BA English, during her one year study at Scottsdale Community College Education in a foreign country seemed to be a great challenge for me in the beginning as I was not exposed to any of the resources available to me here at Scottsdale Community College, back in our country. The experiences that I gained and the complexities that I faced have shaped me to become a global citizen and a better human being.

It was a quick move from my sparkling eyed handsome classmate from our school corridor to my umbrella. He did not ask anyone’s permission not even mine. ”Come on, let us move”, that was a kind of order to me. But I did not say no or even spelled anything.
