(I'm actually thinking about fanfics in a linguistics lecture currently...)

Farheen The education system and the facilities here in USA has inspired me to an extreme level. The group activities, out door activities and and in door activities I believe have influenced me very positively. It’s my first in a foreign land and in a foreign academic environment, which is purely refreshing and fruitful to my knowledge and learning. Although the course material is not related to my field of study, I have become fully interested in the academic material of the program. Everything, from visiting synagogue to election campaign to the academic material has enhanced my knowledge and skills. I am very much inspired about the teaching methods of our respected teachers. The less vacuum between students and teachers is another fascinating factor for me in the education system of the USA, which has boosted my confidence. The classroom facilitation is also a major factor which has influenced me to a large extent. I believe that, these three weeks have a lifetime influence on my academics by enhancing my knowledge, boosting my confidence and polishing my skills.

M.Idrees.Khan SUSI program is a perfect conglomerate of cultural exchange, with its dynamics spread over from integration into American life and experiencing it, along with getting it historical and philosophical construct inside the classroom. The academic sessions has a deep insight and bon-homie environment to exchange ideas and understand PAK-US public policy concepts. Leadership at the grooff park and academic sessions with Razvan Sibi were pivotal to find the inner leadership capabilities instilled within each student selected for the SUSI program. Apart from it, constitutional history of the USA with Tom Fricke, a quintessential step towards understanding the American history, considered as manifest destiny by the Americans. Secondly the academic session with Tom Fricke has also provided us with the opportunity to understand the basis of US policy making and the fundamental differences that separates between the public policy making context of US-PAK. The academic sessions are focusing in a number of ways in promoting the leadership of the participants and encouraging them to exchange opinions and even disagree to ideas, as it goes in the famous American dictum “Agreeing to Disagree” which is the great value of the American system where free exchange of views is appreciated rather than silenced. The one aspect that is bit murky is the fact that time for academic sessions along with those avid participants that are busy in exploring the US at doesn’t want to miss any event becomes a bit difficult therefore the time of the program must be restored back to six weeks.

The more you are striving now, the better you will get in the future. The development of human beings is mainly the development of the society. People should impulse themselves to overcome new obstacles in lieu of allowing themselves to stop and be satisfied. However, they should sometimes accept themselves to avoid unnecessary losses.

The journey began 12 years from today, not just the journey but rather an experience of smart work, passion, dedication and quest for knowing people, hearing stories and telling some as well. For where I come from academic learning has always had huge impact on lives of people, and what impacts more is where does the knowledge come from. This program "Study of the United States Institutes" gives the platform to young leaders from Pakistan and around the world to gain knowledge from institutions which are among the highest ranking of universities. So, this program started with a lecture on understanding of culture as a concept titled 'cultural relativism' which tells us how relatively linked a culture is to another. Which reminds me; when I was a child when I was adolescent, books saved me from despair that convinced me culture was the highest of values and later on in the past week I experienced the relativity between the cultures of the world that is like home to us social beings. To understand this better, people from earlier times came up with a framework for effective dealing among themselves which later on was not just dealing among people but between the government and the nation which is today known as public policy. And the program helps us young leaders understand this in a much effective manner. This programme provides intensive analytical training in the systematic comparison of social and public policies from an international perspective. It helps develop substantive knowledge in a wide range of policy fields around topical issues such as policy evaluation, policy learning and policy transfer. Just as we understand public policy it has in itself an attribute which sets the vision for all to act upon, that's leadership. Leadership when studied as an academic concept tells us that it's important for a leader to set a vision for the people and for them to act upon it. And it's better when it comes from someone with a journalistic background which is exactly where we had our session from. And to understand leadership on an international level it's important to know the history of the leader of the international arena which is the United States of America. What surprising was 400 years of History in 90 minutes which in itself is something amazing. And I wish I could go on and tell you more about it but let us save some until next time. Stay tuned the story has just begun
