difficult and come with unexpected moments and thoughts.\u00a0 Some study abroad\/away returnees do not find re-entry difficult, while others do.\u00a0 However, most returnees will experience some degree of stress while adjusting to life again in one&#8217;s home culture or at St. Olaf.\u00a0 For some, readjusting to life at home or on campus can be more challenging than adjusting to life in their host culture

abroad\/away experience.<\/p>\n<p>1. How has re-entry been? What have been the most challenging aspects of coming back into your home-based life?<br \/>\n2. When you look back at the travel, what did you learn about yourself?<br \/>\n3. What new insights do you have about your own place in today\u2019s global community?<br \/>\n4. What is the most interesting thing you learned about yourself, your studies, and your world?<br \/>\n5. What are the lessons I have learned that I never want to forget?<br \/>\n6. What do you foresee actively doing based on your new insights? Learn more about the site? Participate in additional activities related to the culture and site you visited?<br \/>\n7. What activities were most valuable to you and why?<br \/>\n8. If you were to do it all over again, what would you change?<br \/>\n9. In what ways might my friends or family have changed?<br \/>\n10. How would I like my family and friends to treat me as I have come back?<br \/>\n11. What did you look forward to the most when coming back? Have you been able to do this? Why or why not?<br \/>\n12. What are some skills I have learned? How are these skills going to help me in the future?<br \/>\n13. Many say that the experience of re-entry is more challenging than your initial move to another place. What are some things I might do to make the transition progressively easier?<br \/>\n14. What have been the important things about this experience that I want to share with my family and friends?<br \/>\n15. What do I want to do with the experiences I\u2019ve had (e.g., stay in touch with people I\u2019ve met, continue with a new interest)?<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t<\/div> <!-- .site-grid__col -->\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/div> <!-- .site-grid, .site-grid__wrapper -->\n\t<\/div> <!-- site-section__content -->\n\n\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2717,"featured_media":106,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3534","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wp.stolaf.edu\/smithcenter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3534","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wp.stolaf.edu\/smithcenter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wp.stolaf.edu\/smithcenter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wp.stolaf.edu\/smithcenter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2717"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wp.stolaf.edu\/smithcenter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3534"}],"version-history":[{"count":40,"href":"https:\/\/wp.stolaf.edu\/smithcenter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3534\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6577,"href":"https:\/\/wp.stolaf.edu\/smithcenter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3534\/revisions\/6577"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wp.stolaf.edu\/smithcenter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/106"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wp.stolaf.edu\/smithcenter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3534"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wp.stolaf.edu\/smithcenter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3534"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wp.stolaf.edu\/smithcenter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3534"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
