I have had three courses in this Summer Program, and I think these three courses have prepared me more than I can imagine for life. I say this because I had very little time for myself these past four weeks. All that work it was very intensive. Almost, every day I had to do some homework for a different class on different topics. Having to deal with new professors took me even further with my critical thoughts. I had other courses where I had to work with Adobe Premier, but I never had the chance to do Journalism which it was new for me. I had trouble finding my expressions and to make people tell me the things I wanted, but by practice, you can learn anything; and I think I haven’t learned only from courses, but from foreign students too. I will show you one of my work that I have done for one of my media courses. This was Bacchus god of wine made by Caravaggio and renewed by me. I hope you find it interesting.

I did not have the chance earlier to write to you about anything, for some reasons. For people, who don’t know me I am from the North part of Mitrovica; I am a senior in RIT Kosovo, my concentrations are media and public policy and my minor is international relations. I enjoy traveling a lot therefore when I was 17 I went in USA, California as an exchange student in Villa Park High School as a senior. I have learned a lot from that experience and since then I have not stopped traveling. Based on my personal experience I think that school can never teach you more than life circumstances, where you have no one to rely on. By this being said, I think that students from the USA have done the right move to come over here, and see what is like to live in a post-war country. find this course very challenging for me which I think it helps me learn something new. At the same time, I have been meeting new people, different cultures and after all making new friends. I have been with one of my foreign friends Daniel Vasta to do Bajram and to observe how it is like in Kosovo on a holiday like this. I think we both learned new things from each other, and I hope it will continue like this.
