They say that being alone is when you truly find yourself. Coming to the US, I had so many emotions that engulfed me and one of them was that I was scared. I was just about to be far from my family, from help and from my comfort zone. When I arrived, I was amazed at how comfortable I instantly became with the other students, the group became my family and my friends. I am still puzzled by this as I am usually an introvert, I guess its life’s way of making one adapt.
The experience I have had here
would never measure to any. Just when I thought I knew who I was and what I
wanted, life changed. This experience has opened new horizons for me. A word of
advice for other travelers is; go with an open mind, try new things and open
your eyes to new experiences. As Jerry Gillies stated, “You will recognize your
own path when you come upon it, because you will suddenly have all the energy
and imagination you will ever need."
