Talk ~literally anything but English~ to me ;)
By: Lindsey Hamilton ‘22
Fact #1: Only about 20% of the world’s population speaks English.
Fact #2: That means if you only speak English, you can’t speak to 80% of the people on Earth.
Fact #3: It’s a little tricky to treat these people as equals and learn from them if we can’t even talk to them.
Fact #4: That’s an issue.
My Experience Traveling to China as a First-Year Business Student
By: Adriana Bernal Martinez ‘20
I remember the day I got this little red and yellow box in the mail. It was in late March of my Senior year of high school. I was coming back home from Debate practice at around 6 and at the sight of two little boxes just chillin’ on my doorstep, my breath caught in my throat. I wasn’t really sure what they were about whatsoever, but they seemed rather important and they had the colors of the school I had just committed to on them, so. I was anxious and excited and maybe a little teensy bitsy sweaty but upon opening them, I learned one thing and one thing only: I was going to China.
