What moving countries in the middle of high school taught me?

Well, I don't know what exactly it taught you, but for me it taught me a list of things:

- how to work cohesively with people with dramatically different ideas than me

- how to appreciate and participate in other cultures

- my actions and the results are dependent on me

- social systems are drastically different and are dependent on your cultural background

- There are universal human wishes and things with which you can bond

- the importance of social support, and the significance of belonging to a community

These are just a couple things I learned from moving cross-culturally throughout my life.
