Learning about the Panamanian culture, government, banking
and financial structure, as well as global supply chain management has enabled
me to return to Walton in a new light.
As this semester has progressed I have already been able to contribute
to class discussions pertaining to global marketing, logistics, and global
management. I have intentions of consistently cultivating my experience into
not only my scholastic and academic world but also my personal life.
I feel that my program has truly helped groom me for the
professional world and has better equipped me with the experience and resources
I need to excel in my career.
Studying abroad (and traveling in general) is like the last
bite of your food. Once you’re near the
end, you anticipate what’s coming. You begin to prepare yourself because you
know your travels are coming to a close (you know your last bite is near). And just
as you enjoy that final, amazing bite, and it hits the pit of your stomach,
you’re like “aaah, that was JUST enough.” But as that amazing last bite
radiates throughout your taste buds, you begin to think, “I wish I had JUST
ONE. MORE. BITE!” Studying abroad is EXACTLY like that. Just as you’ve landed
in America, you think it’s JUST enough. But when you’ve had a couple weeks to
collect your thoughts about the program, you begin to think “If I could have
just stayed for ONE MORE WEEK, ONE MORE MONTH!”
If I could give one piece of advice for someone considering
the International Business in Panama program, I’d say do it and take full
advantage of each aspect of the program.
