I am interpreting this question to be similar to the HBS culture shock essay. I'm going to write about my first trip to China and how I initially struggled to connect to people there but adapted quickly to be successful in my project.
Dude, you stole my idea !!
What are the rest of you writing in this "Outsider" essay? A cultural difference experience is something obvious that we can fit here. But to be honest, I've never felt like a true "outsider" in any country that I went to. Well except for China .. where I was getting a lot of stares because of my non-chinese looks and my height. But I can't think of anything that I learned from that experience
(Except that "I don't look Chinese")
I was hoping to write about some experience where my ideologies and thoughts were outsiders. But I can't think of any
So what are the rest of you writing about? Gimme some ideas guys!
