Generally, as human beings we love, to remember the year of birth, marriage birth year of kids, is not it? :)
But today I would like to share about a year that I always remember as my reborn year.
I always believe I wasn't born once, It was twice! How! :)
Going back to January 2016. It's a story of a very homesick person who was not only homesick but also very unconfident and used to lose hope very fast.
On January 15th, for the very first time, I am in an international airport to the traveling a country which takes nearly about 16 hours. I am a person who never even traveled to his neighborhood countries!
Whatever, the name of that country was Denmark which was the first one on my bucket list.
After completing my bachelor's degree I realized I need to restart my life, did not want to follow the typical trends that most people do like Search a job or starting a business.
So, how can I restart?
After thinking for a few months I felt, that the only way to do that is, "Change the Existing Surroundings".
I started preparing for the Language examination but I was very scared at that time because until my College education my medium of study was not English.
Very surprisingly, I made the required score by attending only one test.:)
Whatever, the First step I crossed! After that, the main step, take admitted to University & Attend an interview with the embassy.
Would you believe it or not do not know! Dramatically within just 6 days, I got the visa without facing any interview!
Then for the very first time, I started to believe that, anything can happen in life! We just need to take the first step, just need to decide what should do?
Times were flying like a rocket. On the one hand, new life going to embrace me, but on the other side have to go so far from my family!
I can still remember, I cried like a baby when I crossed the immigration at our airport but in front of my family I didn't show it.
Finally, after 17 hours of a long flight, I reached Destination County. Still, I tell myself so lucky because I found one very humble and kind person at the airport who helped me a lot to find accommodation, to know the streets and of course with his priceless pieces of advice, we’re still in touch.
Sometimes bonding with the soul is tighter than bonding with blood how much I felt that after coming Abroad I can not make you understand that. Life is a teacher it will relearn so many things, and unlearn as well. isn’t that? :)
In the beginning, I used to eat restaurant food but it was expensive for me as a student. Then one day I decided to cook at home. I can still remember the dishes were chicken and Rice. I phoned my Mom and took the recipes. According to the very first attempt, it was not so bad! :) At least I cooked by myself!
So my study and new life were going on. By the way, I was a student of International Business there.
Every morning I used to go to college. After finishing college had the pressure of preparing my assignments, preparing my food, and going for a part-time job. I was never used to that things before. But now I am used to all of those.
I also learned how to make new friends, especially those who belong to different cultures. In the beginning, my level of confidence was too low. Now, sometimes I feel surprised yet! How a person like me can do that so easily I was always incompetent on that.
In life, everyone we meet is not super friendly as a person. Especially when you live in a new place then it's much harder to live with them. But with patience, I learned that too.
I strongly believe even now I go to Jungle to live I can survive there quite comfortably because of change of place made me so much strong mentally.
We can see everything but what matter is how to see it.
"Change of Place" definitely helps us to learn that. That learning makes a strong base within us by using that base we can achieve anything in life. :)
