Management Problem

My main management problem is managing my personal life and my family. As many other international students, I live away from my whole family. Even though I enjoy my life here, I am very close to my family and I miss them. I think it is hard for my family as well, but in a different way. Maybe it is actually even harder for them, because they did not make the choice of me coming here, I did, and they just had to live with it.

This situation is hard to manage because I would like to make my family and myself happy (although we are not unhappy right now, but you know…) while following my aspirations, which currently lead me to remain here. Many times, I do something fun here I do not enjoy it fully because I would like to share this moment with them. Also, when I express my feelings to my sister for instance, she often tells me: “just come back.”

Whatsoever, I chose to be here so I cannot complain. My management problem is that I would like to fulfill my family’s and my emotional needs altogether, even though I am not sure it is possible right now, but maybe later; one never knows…

Introduction

Hi everyone,

I am a senior in Marketing Management and plan to graduate this May. I am French and graduated with the equivalent of a Business Associate Degree in France. I was able to transfer some of my credits. I am looking for an internship for the summer or the fall in the fashion industry. I do not know if I want to go back to France after I graduate, I think it will depend upon the opportunities I will have, since I love New York as much as I love Paris. 

I love going out with my friends, playing tennis, and cooking.  I also enjoy traveling.

I hope you will all enjoy your semester and wish you much success!
