WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:01.000 2 00:00:01.000 --> 00:00:03.380 People always say, enjoy your youth while you're young. 3 00:00:03.380 --> 00:00:04.820 But I've always been ready to move on. 4 00:00:04.820 --> 00:00:07.153 But now that it's finally here, it's kind of like, whoa. 5 00:00:07.153 --> 00:00:08.900 Life is, like, very hectic right now. 6 00:00:08.900 --> 00:00:12.160 There's a lot of studying, preparing for AP classes 7 00:00:12.160 --> 00:00:13.800 that I'm going to be taking this year. 8 00:00:13.800 --> 00:00:17.640 The decisions that I'll be making in the next year or two, 9 00:00:17.640 --> 00:00:20.260 they're really starting to get to me now. 10 00:00:20.260 --> 00:00:22.400 Well, in Boy Scouts, at least, there's 11 00:00:22.400 --> 00:00:25.558 a saying where it's luck favors the prepared. 12 00:00:25.558 --> 00:00:27.600 These are the years that are going to make a mark 13 00:00:27.600 --> 00:00:29.060 and shape my future. 14 00:00:29.060 --> 00:00:31.340 So that's what I'm going to be doing. 15 00:00:31.340 --> 00:00:35.893 16 00:00:35.893 --> 00:00:38.060 [ISHREET] My sister did this program five years ago. 17 00:00:38.060 --> 00:00:39.220 I had a certain vision. 18 00:00:39.220 --> 00:00:40.820 I kind of knew what to expect. 19 00:00:40.820 --> 00:00:44.400 At the same time, you don't know it until you're there. 20 00:00:44.400 --> 00:00:47.000 Over the past 10 days, we've had classes 21 00:00:47.000 --> 00:00:49.240 in learning about your personality type. 22 00:00:49.240 --> 00:00:51.860 [DAVID] Skills to get admitted into other colleges, 23 00:00:51.860 --> 00:00:53.940 like resume skills, how to build a resume. 24 00:00:53.940 --> 00:00:56.362 [HENRY] I also had many cultural classes that I enjoyed. 25 00:00:56.362 --> 00:00:58.820 [ISHREET] I would have never known that I would like Dutch. 26 00:00:58.820 --> 00:01:00.700 That's something I've never considered. 27 00:01:00.700 --> 00:01:01.240 [CHATTER] 28 00:01:01.240 --> 00:01:02.340 We did a lot of dancing. 29 00:01:02.340 --> 00:01:05.040 We did the Russian dancing, dodge dancing. 30 00:01:05.040 --> 00:01:07.290 [ISHREET] We had presentation classes, how to network, 31 00:01:07.290 --> 00:01:09.915 which was a big one because, as I said before, I'm introverted, 32 00:01:09.915 --> 00:01:11.870 so I didn't really know how to talk to people. 33 00:01:11.870 --> 00:01:13.610 [HENRY] All the teachers were wonderful. 34 00:01:13.610 --> 00:01:17.610 The language teachers, professors from the university, 35 00:01:17.610 --> 00:01:18.747 all of them were great. 36 00:01:18.747 --> 00:01:20.330 [DAVID] Arabic really stood out to me. 37 00:01:20.330 --> 00:01:22.530 I really gravitate toward that one. 38 00:01:22.530 --> 00:01:23.770 I really like the culture. 39 00:01:23.770 --> 00:01:25.313 I like the writing and everything. 40 00:01:25.313 --> 00:01:26.730 [CARTER] Asking for business card, 41 00:01:26.730 --> 00:01:29.950 maintaining eye contact, the perfect handshake. 42 00:01:29.950 --> 00:01:32.590 [HAYLEY] Outside of classes, we had an opportunity 43 00:01:32.590 --> 00:01:33.890 to paint the bridge. 44 00:01:33.890 --> 00:01:36.530 So there's a bridge here at IU that organizations 45 00:01:36.530 --> 00:01:38.530 can paint and leave their mark for a little bit. 46 00:01:38.530 --> 00:01:40.572 And so that was really fun to get to be creative. 47 00:01:40.572 --> 00:01:42.863 [ISHREET] If I wasn't curious, I would have never known 48 00:01:42.863 --> 00:01:43.710 about this program. 49 00:01:43.710 --> 00:01:45.918 If I wasn't curious, then I would have never gone out 50 00:01:45.918 --> 00:01:47.222 of my comfort zone in general. 51 00:01:47.222 --> 00:01:49.430 I think that's very important that a person does step 52 00:01:49.430 --> 00:01:52.770 outside their comfort zone in order for them to grow. 53 00:01:52.770 --> 00:01:56.138 [UPBEAT MUSIC] 54 00:01:56.138 --> 00:02:03.013 55 00:02:03.013 --> 00:02:04.430 [ISHREET] This program has allowed 56 00:02:04.430 --> 00:02:05.810 me to step out of my shell. 57 00:02:05.810 --> 00:02:08.870 I feel like this has been like the next step. 58 00:02:08.870 --> 00:02:11.070 It's like a doorway to your future. 59 00:02:11.070 --> 00:02:13.230 [DAVID] This program really has opened my eyes 60 00:02:13.230 --> 00:02:16.050 and helped me narrow it down to certain options, 61 00:02:16.050 --> 00:02:18.630 so I can have a broader vision to what 62 00:02:18.630 --> 00:02:20.870 I want to actually do in life. 63 00:02:20.870 --> 00:02:23.630 [HAYLEY] In a way, it's also just kind of shaken my future 64 00:02:23.630 --> 00:02:26.130 a little because I thought I was going to go down one track, 65 00:02:26.130 --> 00:02:29.510 but my mind has really been opened to business this week. 66 00:02:29.510 --> 00:02:31.190 [CARTER] I think it has helped me 67 00:02:31.190 --> 00:02:33.350 realize exactly what I need to do 68 00:02:33.350 --> 00:02:35.910 and what I have to do to get where I want to be. 69 00:02:35.910 --> 00:02:38.870 You'd be hard pressed for me to find a person who I wouldn't 70 00:02:38.870 --> 00:02:40.050 recommend the program to. 71 00:02:40.050 --> 00:02:42.640 Anybody can benefit from this, and it's really 72 00:02:42.640 --> 00:02:44.890 a matter of how much you're willing to apply yourself. 73 00:02:44.890 --> 00:02:46.210 Get out of your comfort zone. 74 00:02:46.210 --> 00:02:47.870 If you want to better yourself and you 75 00:02:47.870 --> 00:02:50.070 want to actually go into business 76 00:02:50.070 --> 00:02:53.273 and learn all these different cultures in life and the world, 77 00:02:53.273 --> 00:02:54.690 this would be the program for you. 78 00:02:54.690 --> 00:02:58.040 [UPBEAT MUSIC] 79 00:02:58.040 --> 00:03:06.000

“You get introduced to three different cultures. You get to learn the basics in business. You get to meet all these amazing professors. And you get to experience IU.”
