Garcia+Hernandez,+Luis



My name is Luis Daniel Garcia Hernandez and I participated as an amity scholar at UW-L from August 2007 to May 2008. After my participation as a teacher assistant at UW-L, my life has been so different. Since I came back from the United States I realized that I was studying the wrong career so I decided to stop and change my studies in business administration to the career in languages, which is something that I’m really enjoying. Right now I’m very busy at the university trying to get good grades and giving the best of myself to reach my personal goals. I’m studying almost every day of the week from 8 am to 9 pm, so you can see that I don’t have so much time left to go out and have fun, but in this part of my life, the only important thing to me, is finishing my career and continue studying a post-grad somewhere in the USA.

Another wonderful thing that happened to me last year is that I met a wonderful girl from Wisconsin. We are going to start a new life together very soon!

It has been very hard to be far away from the USA< coming back to my culture and all that it involves; here everything is too different, I thought that it would be easy to come back to Mexico, but today after one year being away from that place that I call my second home, I can see that is not that easy. I learned so many things during my stay in La Crosse that made me grow and made me appreciate all that I have. I still remember my old times with my roommates and all the students at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse and those memories are going to be with me the rest of my life.
