The best lesson my grandparent (or any parent or relative) taught was...

The first things you learn in life is usually related to your family. The way they raise you and teach things for life is very reflective on your personality and character. There are some values that will accompany you for the rest of your life and these are the most important things you will learn in life. And that is where the parents have their leading and most significant job: teach their children!

When I think of my childhood and try to force my first memories, the main thing I see in my mind is the image of my parents. In fact, they were the most important teachers in my life, most of all, they always tried to put me to walk on the right path. Consequently, it seems hard to say one best thing that I learned through them. However, besides all the values they taught me there is one that I appreciate the most: respect for the next. 
Whoever the person is and wherever she/he came from, you must respect her/him. It's not up to us to judge any person by anything and if we give respect to others, they will give it to us. If everyone respect each other, there will be no reason for most of the problems in world.

Stretching Your Positive Mind

When I arrived at Maryland I knew for sure that this would be one of the best experiences in my life. Studying abroad is not always easy, it comes with some challenges of being in a foreign country. However, the English course and the life in the university are making me feel really comfortable and happy. In the first place, it is one of the best ways of knowing how to live together withe a lot of different people, from different places and cultures. For an example, in US there is so many people from opposite nationalities and when I had the chance to get to know them it made me change my mind about some negative aspects that I used to have.
As much as I enjoy living here, I have to admit that besides all of this I feel homesick. The culture is, sometimes, so contrasting. In other words, there are a lot of things that I could do in my home country that I can't here and the opposite too. I need to adapt to another kind of life which, sometimes, is great and other times are not that good.
