One Day With A Diplomat - Один день с дипломатом

[@kenarmstrong227]

I’m the daughter of a diplomat, and honestly it’s hard. You move around a lot, ypu can’t really hold on to friends, and you can’t have the lifestyle of a normal kid. You cannot have the American high school experience that you always wanted to have, unless you move there for a year or so. Besides that, it’s really fun to see new places, I am 13 and I have moved to 9 different places, and you can see so many cool things, and cultures. I only wished I could have a classic American Middle school or high school experience. I know people will say ‘It’s terrible you wouldn’t want to have the experience of that!’ But I really do. Besides all the cons, it is really fun, and people always ask you about your experiences when you tell them your a diplomat.

That would be the only reason I wouldn't do it, because of my kids (even though i am 16 now haha). But idk I guess I will figure that out later, or leave the occupation before then?

My word! Her excellency is really down to earth and nothing like any OTHER AMBASSADOR I HAVE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE! Usually ambassadors think they are kings and above everybody else, with lots of servants around and YOU CAN NEVER APPROACH THEM or even get close to their homes or take pictures on their streets (security bla bla bla). Congrats to the diplomat.

[@nastiakisel]

she speaks russian very well! Molodets!

[@karinakonuk1659]

Yep, I also Had noticed that

[@martinholmes7330]

Diplomatic social events often show the graces that are so charming for showing we care for our friends. I think they are a path upward for the Canadian Child casts.

So cool to see what a typical day as a diplomat might look like

[@chrishealey7092]

Wow, really cool video! Thanks!

[@ГульчехраИсхакова-н5и]

[@CDepp-vd7on]

pretty cool look at daily diplo life!

[@kristinamadden5866]

I would love to be a diplomat. I'm an international affairs and Spanish double major, so I will take the foreign service exam when I graduate. How hard is the exam and what should I do to prepare?

[@michelleschultze4641]

I was planning on doing a similar thing with Russian and econ/IR/public policy. I was worried I could be "too young" if I do that fresh out of my undergrad... have you learned anything else about that? i can't seem to find much info

[@chevalier1vrn]

Great! It was very interesting!

[@hasanaliakhmedov6826]

In the video they actually said she is the vice counsel

[@GornostaevM]

Such a busy day! Cool!

[@gabrielag6307]

I want to be come one, but I don't know how to get ready for it, I'm 16 and I want to start getting ready. And I want to take classes in school that will help, do you know any that I should take that will help?

[@MikeLtheSoulChild]

You may want to learn a foreign language, get good grades in highschool, go to university and study something like international relations, or study something on the region you're interested in like middle eastern studies, asian studies or African studies etc. However I do think learning the language of the country or region you're interested in will give you an advantage. While you study you may want to intern in civil service or something related and perhaps study abroad. Your social and networking skills needs to be excellent and so does your communication skills. And a bit untraditionally I'd advice to take a course in philosophy, like logic, ethics or political philosophy just to evolve your thinking and analytical skills.

[@michaelkylow4411]

I am in the same situation, but I am 17 instead. MikeLtheSoulChild, your comment was really helpful.

[@chrishealey7092]

@@MikeLtheSoulChild This is excellent advice

[@regandehaven4705]

hey! what did you end up doing now that you are 20! I am 16 now and trying to figure out what to do.

[@isakuhadad]

Do foreign affairs provide language class for diplomats and its officers before being sent to foreign countries?

[@alienspace7918]

Yes

[@edikzkramz]

[@Muradlek]

[@javidakhmedov5932]

[@hasanaliakhmedov6826]

Hoho sende Azerbaycanlisan?😂

[@CocoTaveras8975]

Javid Akhmedov Mine as well :)

[@SethTheVictor]

I thought they get personal chef and whole bunch crew to assist in dinner. Shocked to see her cooking herself...... Either the guests were not so important or she is yet to undergo many promotions.!!

[@Zardost]

In my city!

[@MrVildan]

I have noticed all food in Kristina's house is not russian, but brought from US. Don't you like russian food or is it a matter of security?

[@CocoTaveras8975]

Dreamer Probably a combination of both.

[@Scarpia9111]

I would like to be a US diplomat. I'm 41 am I too old?

[@CaitlinStoryLovesYou]

Nope! 59 is the age limit so you're all good!

[@mixaliskonstantinidis6773]

_I don't think she qualifies as a diplomat - unless you're gonna be technical about it. As entertaining as this video may have been, it doesn't really resemble a "diplomat's" job description._ _Every practice/responsibility that has been portrayed, constitute the schedule that would fit a PR professional - to a tee actually. I guess her "job title" is suitable in this case.._
