2、er semester doing my job as an international student adviser. I was fascinated by all the students I met, but I was most impressed with the commitment of the Jamaican teachers. For the first time in their lives they were a minority in another country. Yet they never stopped pursuing their educationa

3、l goals. Against the odds, year after year, they came and went, each with that prized possession: a bachelors or masters degree in education.I wondered what enabled them to be so confident in their ability to succeed in the U.S. Over the years, it became apparent to me that no one had told them that

S. higher education, it is important to understand the myths associated with study abroad that have limited their participation in student exchange programs and replace them with positive reasons to go abroad. The present generation of African Am

7、erican students will have to work through these myths and overcome racial prejudice in order to achieve their educational objectives abroad.The number one myth is that the education abroad experience is not for Black students, especially in the traditional European study sites.

Black students who travel abroad are in fact shocked when they are treated as Americans first and as intel

9、ligent students who have earned the right to be studying in the host country. African American students should not fear traveling abroad because of racism.In my own travels through Europe, I have found the African community in every major city. I was delighted to find that others have already paved

10、the way for African Americans to follow. We can learn much from the African and Caribbean communities in London, Paris, Amsterdam, and beyond.Now is the time to go: With the internationalization of the American economy, it is imperative that African American students acquire more knowledge of and se

11、nsitivity to global issues. This knowledge and experience will enable them to participate fully in a future workforce that will be ethnically and culturally diverse.My challenge to every African American student pursuing a degree is to begin immediately to chart a new course for the future.

While study abroad can be a vital link to global competence, it is also an integral part of multicultural competence.(In Understanding Diversity Channing Betes writes: “For centuri

16、es, American education, business and government have reflected the culture of the vast majority: white people of European descent.
