Hello, my name is Michel
I come from the Middle East, I am from Lebanon.
Today I just finished a 4 month internship training with the American hospitality academy and tomorrow I'm going back home. You know; I'm taking with me more than suitcases full of cloth and stuff, I'm taking with me: A life time experience, a life long friendship and a lot of cultural understanding.
During this internship I met people from all over the world, from places I've never even heard of. Yet, I learned something, I learned that we are not different; I learned that we have the same interest, hobbies and concerns, I learned that we all care about peace and friendship.
So now where ever I go across the world, I know how to act, what's the culture there and I sure know that I have a friend there.
So what I want from you to do is, to see the similarities in the others because what bonds us together is much more than what separate us!!!
Peace be with you, al salam maakoun.
