Negotiators are generally intelligent persons, for they identify a specific point to conclude their negotiations on particular issues. Every negotiator would always have a target point where his/her discussions are centered. Thus, they will always emphasize it at the negotiation to ensure it's success. Being an international student in another country while living far from the family may be a challenge in affecting student's performance. For example, studying in the USA while the homeland is Saudi may pose a challenge to the student due to intercultural interaction. The interaction involved between an international student and domestic students seems to be low when based on the social interaction patterns. Being a student in that situation, the target point that is changing my life is being collaborative.

Collaborative as a target point comprehends togetherness in every activity since it is the way to improve performance. As a student in a foreign country, there is a need to interact with other students to ensure quality contact in the learning environment. Therefore, collaborating with other domestic students is the only ways that will help the student have an easy time in the classroom situation. Through collaboration, one can back up their confidence and also gain self-esteem. Confidence and self-esteem are essential characters attributed to collaboration.

Moreover, collaboration has been an improvement point in that; I can effectively communicate with my family. Thus, I am always updated on everything about the family; hence I will have quiet time as a student. Therefore, collaboration as a target point is of personal development where I learned to ensure togetherness in everything. Additionally, working together as students is critical in improving social skills as individually since collaboration is not only based on academics but also in other social interactions.The interaction is essential to enable in understanding individuals' strengths and weaknesses while in groups. Therefore, collaboration is one critical target point that has profoundly changed my life and shaped it to become a better person.
