American Experiences in Hungary: Insights from a Fulbright Scholar

In Fall 2004, I had the remarkable opportunity to study at the University of Szeged as a Fulbright Scholar. My journey in Hungary was filled with cultural discoveries, from insightful conversations with local students to my interactions with English-speaking lawyers on the train. A notable personal experience was dealing with a kidney stone that revealed the kindness of young people who offered me their seats and assistance. Reflecting on these moments, I realized how my American problem-solving attitude shaped my experiences, ultimately making me feel more American than I had acknowledged before.
