Today
we had a guest speaker in class, Mark Harris.
His main reason in coming to speak was to discuss studying abroad. Of course this caught my attention. Once he
mentioned Australia, I was all ears. He
told us that he’s an International consultant and the president/CEO of Global
Education Skills Alliance. This opportunity is really rare, considering that
Richard Bland is a community college. When you think of studying abroad, one
normally thinks of four year colleges.
So the fact that Richard Bland was going to be a part of this, was
great! He gave us some facts on Australia. Spoke on how the cost of living is
higher there. I forgot the exact amount, but the minimum wage in Australia is
like eighteen dollars. Crazy! This experience, overall, sounds great and ideal.
Not many get this chance and it really is a once in a lifetime opportunity
