After taking the Pre-Departure
course one of the things that stuck out to me was from the 3rd unit on South
Africa. In this unit some of the potential questions that we could be asked
about America from local residents made me critically think about what I
represent. The question in particular that I thought of was what does it mean
to be American? This question seemed so easy to define to me when I speak to
other Americans, but the challenge became how to describe being American to
someone who has only read or seen videos about your country. I think that by
taking this question into consideration I will be able to give my best attempt
to represent what being American truly is and I will be able to teach residents
of South Africa something about myself.
