Identifying myself

Introduction

In my life, education is important as it gave me an opportunity to move to a foreign nation to further my studies. This was a life changing moment since I developed a self-identity in terms of my personality, skills and abilities. I had prepared myself well, I had applied for a passport and I had also bought a plane ticket. I had unusual experience and also developed a travel anxiety when I imagined that I am about to leave my parents and siblings. My family was a source of comfort where I could interact with my parents and get parental love. My parents escorted me to the airport and reluctantly my mother said ‘go explore the world’. We all felt the pain of separation but I knew that I will meet beneficial experiences, explore the world, learn new culture, meet career opportunities and create lifelong friends.

I had a wonderful and a valuable experience in the new country and I really felt at home.  As I was preparing to further my education aboard, I was so much stressed about financial matters since I was dependant for many years. However, I found an endless support since I had educational opportunities and was able to gains new skills and knowledge. The supportive community which was made of teachers, students and friends inspired and enlightened me, and more importantly helped me create self-esteem and confidence.  By interacting with new people and respecting their culture, I adapted to social codes and other unfamiliar and unusual things.

 I met all sorts of aspects which I could not meet in my home country. This was an enriching experience   since the opportunity to interact with people helped my identity in terms of my passions and character. The life in the country changed my life completely. I was authentic since I could adhere to the code of morals and integrity through interacting with others.  Kindness and respect was not only for my own benefit but for the benefit of others. I derived satisfaction from people who were around me and satisfaction was influenced by supportive social relationships.

 Life  in abroad  is full of challenges but I  had an enriching experience since I  realized that  in order to life happily with new people I had to  accept change. By accepting change, people could see love and happiness in me and this fostered a positive influence. Even though teachers and students influenced me, initially I created my own happiness and positive people in life inspired me. One thing which helped my successes in life is staying positive. After creating as long-life relationship with positive people, I was attentive and aware of the things happening in my life.

I identified myself as a high-spirited person as I always lived a happy life and showed interest in exciting people and ensuring that they live an enjoyable life.  I liked to encourage people through words and support in making life-giving changes. In difficult times, I could always put myself into their shoes and I could share ideas with them in helping them live a joyful life. Teachers, students and friends from external environment helped me explore the world and cope the challenges which I met.  Indeed, the helped me achieve my goals.

After realizing my passions, I became a proactive passion- I could make wise, careful and thoughtful decisions which could direct me toward achieving my goals.  The opportunity to further my education helped me understand myself as a proactive person who is determined with the future. I am interested in engaging in various social clubs such as community services, theatre club more where I create social change in my life, in others and in the community.  In order to achieve my goals and stay a happy life, I learned that I have to appreciate challenges and take risk. These enrich my life and help me move on.
