International Learning

Out of all the websites that I have studied and all of the viewpoints that I have read about, I have come to the understanding that there are both positive and negatives influences that I have learned from all of this. First, now that I have read about other countires and their struggles it leaves me with a sense of "will we as people every put education first?" It almost has a point of being discouraged because so many countires suffer with issues within education. Second, I know compare our educational system to others. I know that comparisons won't really help and it can only make me feel powerless over the issues that I face within my own community, instead of focusing on what good I can do. Finally, the last consequence when learning about other countires is the overwhelming feeling of sorrow for those countries suffering from extreme poverty. Our country suffers from poverty as well but not as severe as other countries who are less fortunate. One goal that I would like to take from this entire experience is that I hope to one day be able to share my educational experience and knowledge with those across the globe to bring a community of global awareness for all children of this world. With this community I hope to develop a linkage from one country to the next who can aid each other in specific needs to assist children and their families. I beleive that every nation has something the next is lacking and if we link together then we can make a better world for our future generations.
