My Experience Studying Abroad

By the time I was in my late 20s, I was suffering from homesickness, lonely and fairly hopeless. Studying abroad comes with a wide range of emotions and challenges. When you take that first

step and sign up for a scholarship I resolved to make significant changes in my life, so I didn’t do much of anything. Instead, I spent inordinate amounts of time asking for advice most of which I didn’t need. Over time I realized that most of what I was hearing wasn’t relevant to me, and even when it was helpful, it didn’t mean anything because I wasn’t willing to act as well as no mood to

do much of anything, so,the advice became a mild addiction. I was able to convince myself that I

was making tangible changes in my life, when I wasn’t doing anything.Each day will come with different emotions and different experience. The idea of studying abroad is very cool. The reality

of leaving home is pretty scary. I made my whole family drive me to the airport. I gave them about a thousand hugs each. But I had to say goodbye and board the plane to start my journey.

So, it is a matter of fact that this is my path, and although advice can be helpful in critical moments in your life, it's usually just repetitive nonsense. Forcing myself to stop asking for advice for brief periods of time helps me to see where being weak, challenge myself, and forces me to identify where I truly need help. Study abroad will probably be one of the best experiences of my life. If you had the same situation Try it for a short time. Don’t ask for any advice at all. This will force you to rely on your own inner compass. You'll be terrified at first, but it is ok. You'll lean into your fear, and learn to cultivate resilience in the face of it.
