- This experience allowed me to study in a new environment and gain the opportunity to be responsible for myself and my studies on the other side of the world
- Moving and living in another country taught me lessons and skills that I would never have achieved if staying in Australia
- It taught me the ability to deal with change as well as skills needed to get the most out of the experience
- Going over to England and not knowing anybody or having anything to fall back on meant I developed critical skills in adaption and flexibility but also awareness and resilience
- Although England and Australia do have similar cultures and speak the same language, I was also able to gain a better understanding of the world and grow my global awareness
- Over this semester I achieved an average of a mid 1st grade in the units that I took
- I was also able to grow my global awareness by travelling Europe for just under 3 months
- Discovering these different cultures opened my eyes to new worlds and allowed me to get a better understanding of the world we live in
- Travelling for such a time comes with its challenges but it also taught me to take each day at the time and be grateful for every day
- It also showed me to give every day my all and make the most of every experience
