In Mexico, I believe forfilled the role as an American and Allegheny ambassador very well. As an American ambassador it was important to live up to the standards American citizens have to live up to in America. Without imposing my beliefs about society and government on the people of Mexico I was able to show them how we live in America while also learning from them and their beliefs. In regards to Allegheny, I was a good example of Allegheny by always striving for knowledge and unsterstanding of my host culture. By stressing friendship and community I believe I brought some of the values of Allegheny College to Mexico to be shared with my Mexican and American friends. I believe the values of Allegheny helped me gain a better understanding and knowlege while in my host country and I wouldn't have been able to learn as much without having them with me
