Anne studied for a semester in Paris during her Junior year at Brown, and returned to work as a teaching assistant in Le Havre. Because a few months in the city of lights just wouldn't suffice, Anne decided to put her her fluent language skills to use on our year-long program in France, where she is currently an intern at Morningstar, a worldwide leader in independent investment research. Here we are introduced to Anne as she guides us through her expectations of her internship abroad, as well as what she did to prepare for a successful experience in France.
There’s no “answer” to culture shock – but I found that I was better equipped to handle the ups and downs by at least familiarizing myself with the different stages of it –I like this compilation. Now that I’m on my second stint living in France, currently in Le Havre (moving back in Paris in May), it’s been much easier, and I feel like I’ve finally had the time to put down French roots, even if I’ll always have an accent. Come join me!
