So, as our trip is getting more and more closer, there are more activities to get to know each other more before we meet in real in Denver.
Here is the 2nd activity and my answers:

1.What are your goals for the Up with People program?
My goals for Up with People program would include giving people chance to learn about my culture, motivating and inspiring other people during all activities, making friends for a lifetime and giving my contribution to community.

2. What three goals do you have--either personal or professional--that you want to pursue during the program?
Gaining new skills and as well improve old ones
Learning about other cultures and get to know better how people communicate in other cultures
Networking – making contacts with different people from different places

3. What do you see as steps in accomplishing these goals?
Communicate more with people, participating in all activities with other participants and as well with host-family and having desire and motivation to learn from others

4. What challenges do you anticipate in accomplishing these goals and how could you overcome these challenges?
Overcoming fear of new things and new places (especially 7th July when I’m traveling alone) and home-sickness. As I’m open to new things and I always follow that extra mile no matter what(quoting: “Life is amazing! Even though there will be times when you think you can't go any further and you're about to break down, if you just hold on a little bit longer, incredible things can, do and will happen for you. So don't ever give up and always go that extra mile.”
