ARE YOU A THIRD CULTURE KID? YOU MAY BE AND NOT KNOW IT



In a discussion, this video surfaced from Dubai and I thought I would share it with you as it was shown on a foreign television station.

This video shows students who appear to b just a small group of students who fall under that category of Third Culture Kid... however there are students like this all over the world including right here in the United States. There can be many different senarios, so nothing should be ruled out.

For those who are thinking about coming to the US either as an international student or for those who are US citizens and have been raised in other parts of the world, you probably fall into this category.

If you are thinking about coming to US Colleges and Universities, it is important to know what is required to apply. Plan early, and if you need assistance, contact us for assistance.

For TCKs here in the United States, some of you have the unique position of falling under the DREAM ACT, for others the situation is different. Students have come to this country to live with their families on a permanent basis from other parts of the world, or are US citizens living in another part of the world today, you may fall into this category and feel lost and like an outsider.

These students often feel misunderstood, and like outsiders. They are not alone, there are many like them.

Additionally, this article just came in for those who are returning home from living in another part of the world... you may find this article helpful as well
