Very curious of what I will encounter in the future and all the new people who will now make part of my life. Full of expectations about every aspect of my new life.

I’ve always been eager to learn how people do and understand every day things in other places of the globe.
Learning how diverse ideas we can have about things such as social life, use of time, language, food and so on is what I value most from my experience as an international student.

I think that the best way to learn and to enjoy life is to accommodate to new contexts. It is challenging and takes much resilience.

This is why I decided to go after a graduate level degree outside of my home country.

Let’s make the most out of this, always holding my home-land-town very dear to me.

I think the most exciting thing to do in a new place is to mix with other cultures, and show the best of yours. https://padlet.com/rinconrodriguez0/xc76gn8awh3wp4f3/wish/1364459009 -Carolina]]> 2021-03-29 15:10:11 UTC https://padlet.com/rinconrodriguez0/xc76gn8awh3wp4f3/wish/1364459009 https://padlet.com/rinconrodriguez0/xc76gn8awh3wp4f3/wish/1365542644 Challenging myself to learn and adapt in a new environment.]]> 2021-03-29 19:24:29 UTC https://padlet.com/rinconrodriguez0/xc76gn8awh3wp4f3/wish/1365542644 https://padlet.com/rinconrodriguez0/xc76gn8awh3wp4f3/wish/1365581481 Trust, adaptation and open mind.

Being an international student change your life forever. When you realize the world is so big and you have access to many possibilities after this experience, your way of thinking changes.

Initially, there was a lot of fear, uncertainty and challenges, which later turned into opportunities, learning, and personal growth. I would define it as a life-changing experience!

I had to leave everything I was familiar with in order to come study here. The experience has made me grow and learn. I miss my family and friends. I’ve had some amazing experiences here and met some wonderful friends. Bittersweet! ]]> 2021-03-31 19:32:21 UTC https://padlet.com/rinconrodriguez0/xc76gn8awh3wp4f3/wish/1373171788 Nostalgic https://padlet.com/rinconrodriguez0/xc76gn8awh3wp4f3/wish/1373593118 As soon I came here I was a little nostalgic of leaving my friends and family in Colombia. It took me a while to adapt but now I know great people and I am use to be here.

I was also exited, but I felt overwhelmed by all the new challenges that I knew I would have to face. I was eager to learn but at the same time I was afraid of not being able to adapt my self to a new and completely different life stile.]]> 2021-04-07 15:47:23 UTC https://padlet.com/rinconrodriguez0/xc76gn8awh3wp4f3/wish/1392074874 https://padlet.com/rinconrodriguez0/xc76gn8awh3wp4f3/wish/1417325700 Diving into the unknown with family a 1000 miles away was scary at first. But new connections and friends made the experience a little less frightening and I am thankful that I made this decision.
