this shocked me about America as an International Student

when I moved to the USA for college, nothing prepared me for the culture shock- racism, language, gender equality, dating, work, and societal pressures as an international student.✏️🇺🇸

🌺Aloha, I’m Katie! I'm a Filipina teen studying abroad at Cornell University. I love creating products at the intersection of technology, entrepreneurship, and design to uplift communities I'm part of. I want to do too many things, and I want to make it all work… so that’s what my UA-cam channel is about. Join me on this crazy journey and together, we'll learn, struggle, and hopefully find the courage to live our dreams.

✨SO EXCITED ABOUT THIS SERIES✨especially for you international students or students interested in living abroad! first video: ua-cam.com/video/_ar0JRLUeMI/v-deo.html

First
Spectacular
Can you tell about the studies if medical in Usa

[@dennisreeve8859]

Thanks for taking life seriously! You are a joy to your family and country! Bring your talents home to roost!

[@francatrenczek]

Thank you for this video!! I'm an international student as well and I've never had any of my friends or family that haven't been studying or living abroad understand the toll of the language barrier on sharing deeper emotions or connecting with others on a deep level !!
The same goes for the echochambers and being caught up in career pressures based on the people around you that can often push you into a direction or into a way of thinking what you have to do, that isn't ACTUALLY you.
All the best for the future, I hope there's gonna be more videos like these 💞

[@jessicandukwe]

Love this series, so much to unpack as an international student :(

[@mariamxangeli]

Tbh this series will be very educational not just for the people who want to study abroad but this was for everyone.

thanks for watching!

[@sharksnark]

Hi Katie it would be great to know ways to reduce tuition costs during the duration of uni:-) Most people only focus during the application process and scholarships and theres a lack of advise on reducing costs to those who have committed to a school!

[@ainunharr]
