"We get to learn more about other cultures, which to me, is extremely rewarding and beneficial."
"I think that sense of discomfort, of submitting to being made ridiculous by your own ignorance, is the most important lesson I took."
"I think it benefits everyone at Tulane when we have representation from so many different countries and so many different points of view."
"To see another culture, look through a different worldview and lens, and stay with families while they were there, it was very transformative."
"Being in an environment where you have to react to something you've never responded to before is a great way to reflect on your own identity."
"There's just so much out there in the world to explore and to discover. To discover what it's like to be."
"The beauty of immigrant history is that you have your foot in two different countries."
"When I got to Tulane, I felt so safe... It's like coming back to your home and family because of my relationships with the law school."
“How can you take the best of both worlds and incorporate them into your life to create a world that you'd like?”
"When I came to the U.S., I realized that some concepts that I thought to be constant, I realized that they're actually variables."
"I grew up moving abroad, basically my whole life. I was born in the States, but when I was six weeks old, we moved to Cameroon."
