Introduction

Culture and education are intricately linked, shaping how individuals perceive, engage with, and internalize learning experiences. The influence of culture extends beyond mere customs and traditions; it molds learning preferences, communication styles, motivation, and the ways in which knowledge is transmitted and received. In examining how culture influences learning, it is essential to recognize that educational processes are affected by societal values, historical context, and cultural norms. My own cultural background has significantly influenced my approach to learning, instilling in me particular values, attitudes, and behaviors that shape my educational journey.

Growing up in Nigeria, I experienced a distinct educational system that emphasizes rote memorization, standardized testing, and a highly competitive environment. Education in Nigeria predominantly faces challenges such as underfunding, outdated resources, and infrastructural deficiencies. Despite these limitations, Nigerian students possess brilliant minds and resourcefulness. The Nigerian education system places a strong emphasis on examination scores as a primary measure of success, often fostering a focus on test preparation rather than creative or critical thinking skills. Conversely, the American higher education system is characterized by better funding, extensive research opportunities, and a diverse range of academic programs. While tuition remains high, students generally find value for the money invested, as they enjoy access to state-of-the-art technology, laboratories, and research funding. However, it is not without its biases, particularly within research domains, where systemic inequalities can influence opportunities for different student groups. Ultimately, these differences and similarities shape how I navigate my academic pursuits as an international student at CCBC.

My cultural background continues to influence my studies at CCBC, especially as I transition from my prior background in Banking & Finance in Nigeria to pursuing a degree in Nursing here in the United States. This transition reflects a significant shift in professional focus, driven by a desire to serve in the healthcare industry. My goal at CCBC is to successfully complete my Nursing program and obtain licensure, enabling me to make a meaningful impact on community health. The Pathway I have chosen aligns with my broader career aspirations, and I am motivated to adapt my skills from finance to health sciences. My story resonates with many international students at CCBC who are navigating educational and cultural transitions, yet my background offers a unique perspective rooted in my previous academic and professional experiences.

In conclusion, the influence of culture on learning is profound, affecting individuals' educational pathways, attitudes, and ambitions. As I continue my studies at CCBC, I am committed to leveraging my cultural background and experiences to achieve my goals in nursing, while also contributing to the diverse fabric of the college community. Through perseverance and adaptation, I aim to bridge my past and future academic pursuits, fostering growth and success in my new educational journey.
