I feel much more equipped to interact with people from any international background. While working in research and development for the oil industry, I found that there was a demand for my willingness and capability to work on cross-cultural teams. Oil companies have field positions in over 100 countries, so my ability to adapt and respond well to new cultures is critical. Hannah Oermann, 13, B.S.
