Transatlantic Students Symposia



 
 

Participants

Juliane Bönisch
Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin

My name is Juliane Bönisch. I was born on June 9th 1980 and grew up in the Eastern part of Germany.

After finishing highschool in 1999 I spent 5 months in London caring for a disabled woman as a fulltime volunteer. As I originally intended to study medicine I also worked at the hospital in my hometown for 6 months. But due to the fact that I have always been interested in both Great Britain and the US, I finally decided to study English and American studies as a major at Humboldt-Universität.

Unfortunately I have not really found a single focus yet, but I am interested in the American self-perception. Especially in the way the Americans define themselves and what they consider to be typically American. In regard to the symposium I found it very interesting to learn how the Americans see themselves in a global setting. Furthermore, I consider this stundent's symposium as an unique chance to visit the United States.

I am very fond of sports which means that I spent most of my freetime going to the gym. Besides sports, I also like reading and all this usual stuff everyone of us likes such as meeting friends and movies.:-)
