Living away from one's homeland can be both rewarding and difficult. Because of their international experiences, Gerry and his friends gained a wealth of insight. They became tolerant of diversity, skilled observers, which served as a model of multicultural education principles. Because of his and other “Embassy Brats”, their expanded world views and exposure to cultural differences, they managed to live outside of their native country for extended period of time, anywhere from three to four years; consequently, they became fluent in at least two languages.
