On this day St. Nikolaus is coming and distribute some presents for the children.

Session 23 - A study abroad narrative

The study abroad experience changed me as I am. I have to live on my own and make all decision on my own. At the beginning I was afraid of it, but I learned to enjoy it. As I mentioned before it was hard for me to leave my familiar surrounding and to can not do what anyone else (my friends, my boyfriend) could do, just if it were normal things like visting a football game of my team or sitting in a bar at the evening with all my friends. It felt unfair, that I couldn’t do it anymore and I was afraid that I missing out anything I was unhappy about my situation, even if they would never make the experiences I made. I was not aware of these. It took me a long long time to realize, that it is okay to not be in my normal surrounding and doing my normal thing. The competence I gathered from this was to be more loose and open-hearted, to not begrudge my friends, because they didn’t do it to me. Looking forward and do not going upset about some little things!
