WHAT I ENJOY ABOUT LIFE IN AMERICA

• Make friends, have fun instead of spending all weekends at libraries

• Stay away from parental and peer pressure

• Being an independent thinker and learning new things all the time, including this internship at FIS

• Less expense on clothing due to the availability of outlets malls and discounted name brands
